# Validate

> Validate network and token identifiers before runtime

`armory validate` checks whether your identifier is recognized.

## Network Validation

```bash theme={null}
armory validate network base
armory validate network 8453
armory validate network eip155:8453
```

## Token Validation

```bash theme={null}
armory validate token usdc
armory validate token 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
```

## Practical Preflight Script

```bash theme={null}
set -e
armory validate network "$TARGET_CHAIN"
armory validate token "$TARGET_TOKEN"
echo "inputs valid"
```

Use this before startup to fail fast on misconfigured chain/token values.
