[Bug]: useBalance crashes app when given invalid address instead of handling gracefully

[resourcefulmind]

Minimal reproduction repo (required)

Not applicable - can reproduce directly in any project using the hook

Steps to reproduce

1. Install @solana/client and @solana/react-hooks
2. Create a component that uses useBalance with an invalid address:

const balance = useBalance("not-a-valid-address");

3. Run the app
4. App crashes with blank screen

Actual behavior

App crashes completely with uncaught error:

SolanaError: Expected base58-encoded address string of length in the range [32, 44]. Actual length: 19.

The error is not caught by the hook, causing React to crash and show a blank screen.

Expected behavior

The hook should handle invalid addresses gracefully by either:

1. Returning an error state: { lamports: null, error: "Invalid address", fetching: false }
2. Or returning null values without crashing
3. Or validating input and logging a warning

The app should NOT crash from passing an invalid string to the hook.

Environment

• OS: macOS
• Node: v22.x
• Package versions: @solana/client@1.2.0, @solana/react-hooks@1.2.0
• Runtime: Chrome browser
• Cluster / endpoint: https://api.devnet.solana.com

Additional context

This is a DX issue because developers may pass user-typed addresses to this hook. Without input validation or error handling, there's no safe way to use this hook with untrusted input.
