# Working with Well-known Contracts and Tokens
Historically, this repository referenced a separate `neo-cli famous ...` command group for “well-known” contracts.
The current CLI surfaces these workflows primarily through:
- `neo-cli de-fi token` for common token metadata lookups (by symbol or script hash)
- `neo-cli de-fi balance` for quick balance checks
- `neo-cli contract ...` for generic contract deployment/invocation flows
## Token Shortcuts
```bash
# Resolve common symbols (NEO / GAS / FLM / bNEO, etc.) or use a script hash directly
neo-cli de-fi token NEO
neo-cli de-fi token GAS
neo-cli de-fi token 0xef4073a0f2b305a38ec4050e4d3d28bc40ea63f5
```
## Balance Checks
```bash
neo-cli de-fi balance GAS NZKvXidwBhnV8rNXh2eXtpm5bH1rkofaDz
```
## Generic Contract Workflows
Use `neo-cli contract --help` for the full set of contract-related commands supported by your build.
```bash
neo-cli contract list-native-contracts
```
