Request Parameters

1. 'address' (20 Bytes) - The address to get the balance of.
2. 'block' (optional) - The block number to retrieve the balance from. It can be one of the following:
   • 'earliest': For the earliest/genesis block.
   • 'latest:' For the latest mined block.
   • 'pending:' For the pending state/transactions.
   • Or you can specify a block number.

Response

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x7f49b9052e509c"
}

'result (String)'' - The current balance of the address in wei.

Notes:

• The balance is returned in wei, which is the smallest denomination of ether. To convert the balance to ether, divide the result by 10^18.
• Always ensure to use a valid Ethereum address and specify the correct block parameter.
