const irys = await getIrysUploader();

// Get loaded balance in atomic units
const atomicBalance = await irys.getBalance();
console.log(`Node balance (atomic units) = ${atomicBalance}`);

// Convert balance to standard
const convertedBalance = irys.utils.fromAtomic(atomicBalance);
console.log(`Node balance (converted) = ${convertedBalance}`);
