Icon LinkChecking balances and coins

In the Fuel network, each UTXO corresponds to a unique coin, and said coin has a corresponding amount (the same way a dollar bill has either 10$ or 5$ face value). So, when you want to query the balance for a given asset ID, you want to query the sum of the amount in each unspent coin. This querying is done very easily with a wallet:

let asset_id: AssetId = BASE_ASSET_ID;
let balance: u64 = wallet.get_asset_balance(&asset_id).await?;

If you want to query all the balances (i.e., get the balance for each asset ID in that wallet), you can use the get_balances method:

let balances: HashMap<String, u64> = wallet.get_balances().await?;

The return type is a HashMap, where the key is the asset ID's hex string, and the value is the corresponding balance. For example, we can get the base asset balance with:

let asset_balance = balances.get(&asset_id.to_string()).unwrap();
