# balance

Returns the unified wallet balance: confirmed spendable VTXOs (`confirmed_sat`), in-flight inbound (`pending_in_sat`: boarding plus receive), and in-flight outbound (`pending_out_sat`: send plus exit), all in satoshis. The response also carries the server-authoritative credit balances.

```bash
wavecli balance
```

## Flags

`balance` takes no bespoke flags beyond the global connection flags.

## Example

```bash
wavecli --no-tls balance
```

```json
{
  "confirmed_sat": 125000,
  "pending_in_sat": 25000,
  "pending_out_sat": 0,
  "credit_available_sat": 0,
  "credit_reserved_sat": 0
}
```

## Underlying RPC

Calls [`WalletService.Balance`](/api/wallet/balance/).
