# Fetch Balance

<Card title="Recommended: JavaScript SDK with React Hooks" icon="react" color="#4779FE">
  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)](/javascript/reference/react-quickstart) to get started.
</Card>

You can show the balance of the primary wallet by using the [useDynamicContext](/react/reference/hooks/usedynamiccontext) hook and the `getBalance` method from the wallet connector.

```jsx React theme={"system"}
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>
```

## Multichain Balances

For applications that need to fetch token balances across multiple blockchain networks simultaneously, Dynamic provides a `getMultichainBalances` method. This is useful for displaying comprehensive portfolio views or checking balances across different chains without making separate API calls.

In React, you can use the `useMultichainTokenBalances` hook to fetch balances across multiple chains:

```jsx React theme={"system"}
import { useMultichainTokenBalances, useDynamicContext } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core';
import { ChainEnum } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-api-core';

const { primaryWallet } = useDynamicContext();

const { multichainTokenBalances, isLoading } = useMultichainTokenBalances({
  filterSpamTokens: true,
  requests: [
    {
      address: primaryWallet?.address || '',
      chain: ChainEnum.Evm,
      networkIds: [1, 137, 56], // Ethereum, Polygon, BNB
    },
  ],
});
```
