Now that your BNB Smart Chain wallet has its own address and private key, it’s a perfect time to learn how to execute a couple of basic functions with it using Tatum’s C# SDK. Our first suggestion is to learn how to check your account balance.

Many of us routinely check our bank account balance out of habit, especially before and after making any transfers. A similar principle applies here. Before you start making BNB transactions, it’s great to know how to check your account balance. For C# developers, Tatum’s platform is the ideal place to do this with ease. If you’re using our APIs, please skip the following section.

Check Your Account Balance With C#

Once you’ve set up your BNB wallet with an address and private key using C#, checking your account balance is a walk in the park. With our recently-upgraded SDK, coding in C# has never been more effortless. So let’s get started.

To Check Your BNB Balance:

That’s all there is to it! Now you know your BNB balance using C#.

Check Your Account Balance Using Tatum’s APIs

If you’re looking for another way to work on the BNB Smart Chain blockchain, Tatum’s APIs are a great alternative to our C# SDK. Yet another easy way of checking your Bitcoin balance is by using Tatum’s APIs to interact with the blockchain. You’ll get 2 API keys after you log on to the Dashboard. One key is for the mainnet, and the other is for the testnet.

We suggest taking full advantage of the testnet to practice your coding skills or work out any bugs with your project. After all, what happens on the testnet, stays on the testnet. It’s like your own blockchain laboratory to conduct experiments until you’re satisfied with the results and ready to execute on the mainnet.

One thing to note, experimenting on the testnet will require a form of BNB that has no tangible value in real life. It’s worth as much as Monopoly money outside of the board game. To get a hold of this “Monopoly” BNB, head over to this faucet site which supports BNB Smart Chain.

The following code samples are applicable for both the testnet and the mainnet.

Sample Response:

There you have it. You’ve set up your wallet in C#, created an address and private key for it, and learned how to check your account balance. Now you’re ready for the next stage of your BNBblockchain journey!
