Accounts

Tezos uses these types of accounts:

  • User accounts (sometimes known as implicit accounts) store tez (ꜩ) and tickets. These accounts have addresses that start with "tz1", "tz2", "tz3" or "tz4." Any wallet application or the Octez command-line tool can create user accounts.

  • Smart contract accounts (sometimes known as originated accounts) store immutable code, mutable storage, tez (ꜩ), and tickets. Smart contracts have addresses that start with "KT1." See Smart contracts.

  • Smart Rollups have addresses, but are not accounts because they cannot store tez. Their addresses start with "SR1". They have a tree of commitments attached to them. See Smart Optimistic Rollups.
