async function onInit() { await window.ethereum.enable(); const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' }); const account = accounts[0]; console.log(account) window.ethereum.on('accountsChanged', function (accounts) { // Time to reload your interface with accounts[0]! console.log(accounts[0]) }); }

onInit();

const getBalance=async ()=>{ const address=await onInit(); const balance=await web3.eth.getBalance(address); console.log(balance); } getBalance(); This shows the error; Error: Provided address [object Promise] is invalid, the capitalization checksum test failed, or it's an indirect IBAN address which can't be converted.

    Can you format/indent the code? Surrounding it by ``` before and after the source will mark it as code. – Ismael Sep 21 '21 at 05:17

I was having a similar issue, I would consider using ethers (https://docs.ethers.io/v5/) instead of web3 as it's less buggy and the documentation is better. It was hard to see from your formatting but my solution for getting the balance is below:

import { ethers } from "ethers";
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum)

const ethbalance = await provider.getBalance(address)

hope that helps, Henry
