    To get the ABI from a contract address in the cryptocurrency industry, you can use the Ethereum blockchain explorer like Etherscan. Simply search for the contract address on Etherscan, and you'll find the contract details page which includes the ABI. It's a JSON file that describes the functions and events of the smart contract.

    Getting the ABI from a contract address is essential if you want to interact with a smart contract. You can use web3.js library in JavaScript to get the ABI programmatically. By using the web3.eth.getCode() function, you can retrieve the bytecode of the contract and then decode it to get the ABI.
