  description: >-
    The Alchemy Token API provides comprehensive access to ERC-20 token data
    across EVM-compatible networks. Developers can retrieve token balances by
    wallet address, token metadata (name, symbol, decimals, logo), and
    real-time pricing data. The API supports multi-chain queries and returns
    standardized responses for easy integration into wallets, portfolio
    trackers, and DeFi applications.
