## Example

```python
import os
from eth_abi import decode
from seismic_web3 import PrivateKey, SEISMIC_TESTNET, SRC20_ABI

pk = PrivateKey.from_hex_str(os.environ["PRIVATE_KEY"])
w3 = SEISMIC_TESTNET.wallet_client(pk)

token = w3.seismic.contract("0xYourTokenAddress", SRC20_ABI)
balance = decode(["uint256"], bytes(token.read.balanceOf()))[0]
```
