So I'm trying to render a constructor variable but when I add the lines that renders it, the whole page goes blank. I don't know if it's that this.balance() is not called there or sm. I'm new so help is appreciated :)

  constructor(props){
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      balance: ""
    }
  }

  balance = async() => {
    const web3 = window.web3
    const balance = web3.eth.getBalance(this.state.account)
    this.setState({balance})
  }

render(){
    this.balance()
    return(
      <section id="payments">
        Payments
        <Nav/>
        <p>balance: {this.state.balance}</p>
      </section>
    )
  }
