# TokenBalance

> TokenBalance is the Hedera protobuf message reporting the number of a token's smallest transferable units held by an account on the Hedera network.

A number of transferable units of a certain token. The transferable unit of a token is its smallest denomination, as given by the token's decimals property---each minted token contains 10decimals transferable units. For example, we could think of the cent as the transferable unit of the US dollar (decimals=2); and the tinybar as the transferable unit of hbar (decimals=8). Transferable units are not directly comparable across different tokens.
