Understanding Token Transfers

How ERC-20 and NFT transfers work on ICB, and how they appear differently from native ICBX sends.

Last updated: August 14, 2026

Native ICBX transfers move the chain’s base currency. Token transfers move assets defined by smart contracts — typically ERC-20 fungible tokens or ERC-721 / ERC-1155 NFTs. On ICBScan, token movements often appear as Transfer events on a transaction, and as history on token and address pages.

What to look for

  • Token contract address and symbol/name
  • From and to addresses
  • Amount (fungible) or token ID (NFT)
  • The parent transaction hash and status

Why a token balance can look “missing”

Scam tokens may airdrop worthless assets. Always confirm the contract address. Also check you are on ICB Network (chain ID 73115) in your wallet — balances on other chains will not appear the same way.
