HBAR units

Modify the HBAR representation to one of the HBAR denominations.

Function	Description
HbarUnit.TINYBAR	The atomic (smallest) unit of hbar, used natively by the Hedera network
HbarUnit.MICROBAR	Equivalent to 100 tinybar or 1⁄1,000,000 hbar.
HbarUnit.MILLIBAR	Equivalent to 100,000 tinybar or 1⁄1,000 hbar
HbarUnit.HBAR	The base unit of hbar, equivalent to 100 million tinybar.
HbarUnit.KILOBAR	Equivalent to 1 thousand hbar or 100 billion tinybar.HbarUnit.Megabar
HbarUnit.MEGABAR	Equivalent to 1 million hbar or 100 trillion tinybar.
HbarUnit.GIGABAR	Equivalent to 1 billion hbar or 100 quadrillion tinybar.

HBAR decimal places

The decimal precision of HBAR varies across the different Hedera APIs, with HAPI, JSON-RPC Relay, and Hedera Smart Contract Service (EVM) returning 8 decimal places, while JSON-RPC Relay msg.value returns 18 decimal places.

API	Decimal
Hedera API (HAPI) (Crypto + SCS Service (msg.value))	8
Hedera Smart Contract Service (EVM)	8
JSON RPC Relay (passed as arguments)	8
JSON RPC Relay (msg.value)	18

Note: The JSON-RPC Relay msg.value uses 18 decimals when it returns HBAR. As a result, the gasPrice also uses 18 decimal places since it is only utilized from the JSON-RPC Relay.
