⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Potential edge case: Zero decimals incorrectly triggers API fetch.

The condition !options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.decimals evaluates to true for both undefined and 0. While most tokens have non-zero decimals, ERC20 technically allows 0 decimals. If a chain's native currency legitimately has 0 decimals and it's specified in the chain definition, this condition would incorrectly attempt to fetch from the API.

Consider using explicit undefined checks:

 if (
   !options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency ||
-  !options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.name ||
-  !options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.symbol ||
-  !options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.decimals
+  options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.name === undefined ||
+  options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.symbol === undefined ||
+  options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.decimals === undefined
 )

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In packages/thirdweb/src/extensions/erc20/read/getCurrencyMetadata.ts around
lines 47 to 52, the current falsy checks treat 0 decimals as missing and will
trigger an unnecessary API fetch; change the condition to check decimals
explicitly (e.g., options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.decimals === undefined)
while keeping the existing checks for name and symbol (or similarly use explicit
undefined/null checks if desired) so that a legitimate 0 value for decimals is
accepted and no API call is made.

zero decimal can never happen, if we see that we SHOULD fetch

@jnsdls, thank you for the clarification! I understand now that zero decimals is not a valid value for native currency in this system, and encountering it should indeed trigger a fetch from the API. The current implementation is correct for your use case.

Timestamp: 2025-10-16T19:00:34.682Z
Learning: In the thirdweb SDK's getCurrencyMetadata function (packages/thirdweb/src/extensions/erc20/read/getCurrencyMetadata.ts), zero decimals is not a valid value for native currency. If `options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency.decimals` is 0, it should be treated as missing/invalid data and trigger an API fetch to get the correct native currency metadata.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

try {
const { getChainMetadata } = await import("../../../chains/utils.js");
const chain = await getChainMetadata(options.contract.chain);
// return the native currency of the chain
return NATIVE_CURRENCY_SCHEMA.parse({
...chain.nativeCurrency,
...options.contract.chain.nativeCurrency,
});
} catch {
// no-op, fall through to the default values below
}
