How to get the amount of SUI coins using Move language?

Question

Im working with the Move language and I want to create a function that retrieves the amount of SUI coins held by a specific address. Is there an existing module or function in Move that can help me achieve this?

elfDani · Answer

You cannot do this directly from Move because smart contracts on Sui dont have access to global storage, unlike in Solidity/EVM. To find out the coin balance for an address, you would need to externally query a full node via RPC/GraphQL or use an SDK client.
