Does useBalance only retrieve eth mainnet balance?

[lsbyerley]

It appears the useBalance hook only returns the balance of eth mainnet, even when switching to other networks such Eth Rinkeby or Polygon Mainnet. Is this a bug or are there plans to update this hook to retrieve the balance of the active network?

It should work for all networks. Does your ethers.js Provider use the current chain id?

import { providers } from 'ethers'
import { Provider } from 'wagmi'

// Use `chainId` to make ethers.js provider network-aware
const provider = ({ chainId }) =>
  new providers.InfuraProvider(chainId, 'Your infura id')

const App = () => (
  <Provider provider={provider}>
    <YourRoutes />
  </Provider>
)

Ahh i see. I had not setup the optional provider so it was using the default. Thanks for the reply. The balances are updating now!

I still can't seem to get it to pull polygon mainnet balance though. I'm using this provider

const provider = ({ chainId }) =>
    new providers.AlchemyProvider(chainId, alchemyId);

I downgraded to 0.1.3 and am still seeing an error so must be something on my end. Thanks for the quick update on the symbol!

Haven't published the new version yet. Will do shortly.

Thank you! I'm assuming we should be using the networkData.chain.nativeCurrency.symbol field from useNetwork now instead of the balanceData.symbol property from useBalance when showing the currency symbol?

[tmm]

balanceData.symbol should return the correct symbol. (You could use networkData instead, but would be more verbose in this case.)

I just tried it with another chain. I get the correct amount but the symbol is still ETH when I use balanceData.symbol.

This is how I define the chain:

const chains = [
  {
    id: 1666700000,
    name: 'Harmony Testnet Shard 0',
    rpcUrls: ['https://api.s0.b.hmny.io'],
    nativeCurrency: { name: 'ONE', symbol: 'ONE', decimals: 18 as 18 },
    blockExplorers: [
      {
        name: 'Harmony Block Explorer',
        url: 'https://explorer.harmony.one',
        standard: 'EIP3091',
      },
    ],
    testnet: false,
  },
];
