# IB20Asset.multiplier

> Returns the current raw-balance multiplier for a B20 Asset token.

## Signature

```solidity IB20Asset.sol theme={null}
function multiplier() external view returns (uint256);
```

| Field               | Value          |
| ------------------- | -------------- |
| Selector            | `0x1b3ed722`   |
| Canonical signature | `multiplier()` |

## Description

Returns the current effective multiplier in WAD precision (`1e18`, exposed as `WAD_PRECISION()`). Each account's balance is stored as a **raw** value; the multiplier scales that raw balance into a derived **scaled** view for display. The multiplier applies uniformly to all accounts, so an issuer can rebase every displayed balance at once without rewriting individual storage entries.

This function is an alias of the ERC-8056 `uiMultiplier()`.

`balanceOf`, `transfer`, and `totalSupply` operate on raw values and are mechanically unaffected by multiplier changes.

## Access Control

View — no role required.

## Policy Interaction

No direct policy interaction.
