# token-symbols (/docs/query/token-symbols)

Connecting runs this automatically (through a disk cache) and
installs the result as the connection's display symbols, so balances
decoded by that client render with each subnet's real symbol.

**Category:** Subnets

## Parameters [#parameters]

This read takes no parameters.

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query token-symbols --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.subnets.token_symbols()
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("token_symbols")
```

Async is the same surface awaited: `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`.
