# Get program balance

> Retrieve a program's wallet balance.

Returns the current wallet balance for each asset linked to the program. The balance reflects the net of fund and burn operations minus credits issued by rules.

Only meaningful for assets with an `issuance_policy` of `PREFUNDED`. `UNLIMITED` assets bypass the wallet entirely and do not appear here. Use this to monitor remaining budget; when a `PREFUNDED` wallet reaches zero, credits fail.

<Note>
  For usage patterns and examples, see the [Programs guide](/guides/programs).

    Universal Incentive Infrastructure API for managing loyalty programs,
    rewards, and participant balances.


    Scrip provides a complete backend for building incentive and loyalty
    programs. Core concepts:

    - **Programs**: Containers for incentive logic (e.g., "Q1 Sales Bonus",
    "Customer Loyalty")

    - **Assets**: The currency or points being tracked (e.g., "Bonus Points",
    "Cash Rewards")

    - **Participants**: Users who earn and spend assets (identified by
    external_id)

    - **Groups**: Collections of participants for team-based incentives

    - **Rules**: Automated reward logic triggered by events

    - **Events**: Actions that trigger rule evaluation (e.g., "purchase",
    "referral")


    Response formats:

    - **Collection endpoints** return: {"data": [...], "pagination":
    {"has_more": true, "next_cursor": "..."}}

    - **Single-resource endpoints** return the resource directly

    - **Errors** return: {"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": {...}} —
    `details` is an optional object, present on input errors only
