​
Error Types

​
BalanceFetchError

Thrown when balance fetching fails. 
class BalanceFetchError extends MinaError {
  readonly code: 'BALANCE_FETCH_FAILED';
  readonly chainId: number;
  readonly tokenAddress: string;
  readonly recoverable: true;
  readonly recoveryAction: 'retry';
  readonly cachedAvailable: boolean;
}
Example: 
try {
  const balance = await getBalance(1, tokenAddress, walletAddress);
} catch (error) {
  if (isBalanceFetchError(error)) {
    console.error(`Failed to fetch balance for chain ${error.chainId}`);
    if (error.cachedAvailable) {
      console.log('Cached data may be available');
    }
  }
}

​
InvalidAddressError

Thrown when an invalid wallet address is provided. 
class InvalidAddressError extends MinaError {
  readonly code: 'INVALID_ADDRESS';
  readonly address: string;
  readonly recoverable: false;
}
Example: 
try {
  const balance = await getBalance(1, tokenAddress, 'invalid-address');
} catch (error) {
  if (isInvalidAddressError(error)) {
    console.error(`Invalid address: ${error.address}`);
  }
}

​
BalanceCache Class

The BalanceCache class manages caching for balance data with a 30-second TTL.

​
Methods

class BalanceCache {
  /** Get cached balance if not expired */
  getBalance(
    chainId: number,
    tokenAddress: string,
    walletAddress: string
  ): { data: Balance; cachedAt: number } | null;

  /** Store balance in cache */
  setBalance(
    chainId: number,
    tokenAddress: string,
    walletAddress: string,
    balance: Balance
  ): void;

  /** Invalidate cache for a wallet or all */
  invalidate(walletAddress?: string): void;

  /** Check if cached balance exists (even if expired) */
  hasCached(
    chainId: number,
    tokenAddress: string,
    walletAddress: string
  ): boolean;

  /** Get balance even if expired (for fallback) */
  getBalanceStale(
    chainId: number,
    tokenAddress: string,
    walletAddress: string
  ): { data: Balance; cachedAt: number } | null;
}

​
Example Usage

const cache = createBalanceCache();

// First request - fetches from API
const balance1 = await getBalance(1, tokenAddr, walletAddr, cache);

// Second request within 30 seconds - uses cache
const balance2 = await getBalance(1, tokenAddr, walletAddr, cache);

// Force refresh for specific wallet
cache.invalidate('0x...');

// Force refresh all
cache.invalidate();
