General questions about OneBalance
What is OneBalance?
OneBalance is a comprehensive chain abstraction toolkit that enables developers to create seamless blockchain experiences. It provides a set of APIs for managing smart accounts, tracking cross-chain balances, and executing multichain transactions, all through a unified interface.
The platform simplifies complex blockchain operations by abstracting away the technical details, allowing developers to focus on building great user experiences.
What problems does OneBalance solve?
OneBalance solves several key challenges in blockchain development:
- Fragmented Balances: Consolidates assets across multiple chains into a single aggregated balance
- Complex Transactions: Simplifies cross-chain transfers and swaps
- Account Management: Streamlines the creation and management of smart contract wallets
- Development Complexity: Reduces the technical overhead of supporting multiple blockchains
By addressing these issues, OneBalance makes blockchain applications more accessible and user-friendly.
Which networks does OneBalance support?
OneBalance supports a growing list of networks, including:
- Ethereum (Mainnet)
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Base
- Polygon
- Linea
- Avalanche

For the most up-to-date list of supported chains, you can check the supported networks page.
What is an aggregated asset?
An aggregated asset in OneBalance represents a collection of the same token across multiple blockchains. For example, USDC exists on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and other networks. OneBalance treats these as a single aggregated asset with the identifier ds:usdc
.
This approach allows users to:
- View total balances across all chains
- Spend from the aggregated balance without worrying about which chain the tokens are on
- Simplify transfers and swaps using unified token identifiers
You can see the full list of aggregated assets via the /assets/list
endpoint in our API Reference.
