Recommended: JavaScript SDK with React Hooks

For new React apps, we recommend the JavaScript SDK with React Hooks (@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks) instead of the legacy React SDK documented here. The JS SDK comes with many benefits such as a much smaller bundle size and other optimizations. Use the React quickstart (JavaScript SDK) to get started.
You can show the balance of the primary wallet by using the useDynamicContext hook and the getBalance method from the wallet connector.
React
import { useDynamicContext } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core'

const { primaryWallet } = useDynamicContext()

const [balance, setBalance] = useState(null)

useEffect(() => {
  const fetchBalance = async () => {
    if (primaryWallet) {
      const value = await primaryWallet.getBalance()
      setBalance(value)
    }
  }
  fetchBalance()
}, [primaryWallet])

return <p>{balance}</p>
