Hi guys, I’m currently synchronizing the archive node with the latest block height (it’s been increasing, it’s currently 5.4T storage, and the block has come to around 11000000). But when I check the historical balance of an address, it keeps getting 0, does anyone know why? Grateful.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-6-193:/bsc/archive$ curl -XPOST --data ‘{“jsonrpc”: “2.0”, “id”: 1, “method” : “eth\_getBalance”, “params” : [“0x112fc0d4199ea38185fb6eb6ff2aab43eb1fc569”, “0xA4C9D0”]}’ -H “Content-Type: Application/json” [http://10.233.77.31:8545](http://10.233.77.31:8545)  
{“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“id”:1,“result”:“0x0”}

It returns 0, actually it should be 0x753d533d968000

I have searched and asked in issue, but did not get effective help

> I am synchronizing an archive node, and it has just been synchronize…d for 1 day, but I found that when it queries the balance of historical blocks, it is always 0. This seems to be incorrect. Is it because my program is not started correctly? Or other reasons, thanks for your help.
