Hello, anyone knows how to query the cycles balance from ICRC-1 tokens? Unlike EXT tokens, they lack the cycleBalance function.

There is no standard way to get an ICRC-1’s cycles balance. There’s two options: Your canister can expose a method that manually exposes the cycles. Or you can add the blackhole canister as a controller

Thank you, Severin. I added the blackhole canister as a controller however I’m still not sure how to check the cycles balance after that. Would you have any additional guidance? :slight_smile:

You can follow the readme. It gives you the blackhole canister ID and shows how to query it
