A
Epochs
blocks
transactions,
chunks
transactions,
execution
outcomes
and,
on
the
previous
calls,
and
today
we're
going
to
talk
about
accounts
which
are
not
very
well
represented
on
explorer.
Yet
so
you
can
see
some
useful
info,
but
it's
still
not,
I
would
say,
feature
complete
in
order
to
on
to
clearly
understand
the
picture
here,
but
it
provides
just
bare
minimum
and
I
will
cover
the
rest
of
the
things
you
will
not
see
them
right
here,
but
we'll
use
imagination
a
bit
to
understand
the
details.
A
So
basically
what
we
want
to
where
we
want
to
start
that
account
on
here
is
a
human
readable
thing.
You
just
have
a
name
and
we
use
this
schema
of
having
domain
like
kindle
domains
and
subdomains
register
way
to
operate
with
with
with
naming
so
the
first
thing
you,
you
will
notice
on
main
net
that
there
is
almost
all
the
accounts
have
this
dot
near
suffix,
and
only
after
like
and
before
it.
There
is
some
human
readable
name.
A
A
So
accounts,
as
I
said,
follow
the
same
domain
name
schema.
So
only
the
owner
of
dot
org
can
register
and
near
the
torque
or
or
qq.org
or
whatever
the
torque,
and
only
near
the
torque
can
register
explore
that
near
the
door
so
that
org
cannot
register
explored
near
the
torque
and
near
the
torque
cannot
register
qq
and
the
torque.
So
that's
that's
a
the
same
follows
on
here
as
well.
However,
there
are.
A
A
A
This
is
another
example,
and
you
can
see
there
are
a
bunch
of
different
actions
and
transactions
on
behalf
of
that
account.
So
we
don't
have
a
human,
readable
name
here.
While
we
have
it
here,
and
we
also
have
accounts
which
has
more
than
64
characters
along
and
they
could
be
created
without
near
suffix.
A
A
This
is
a
transaction
signed
by
my
account
to
a
dot
near
a
dot
for
all
that
near
account
and
the
actions
are
the
following.
I
it's
a
create
account
by
by
default,
like
that.
You
you
can't
like
the
account
that
you
are
creating
is
the
one
that
transaction
is
signed
for,
so
the
receiver
is
the
account
that
will
be
created.
A
And
we
need
to
lock
some
tokens
to
cover
the
costs
of
storing
that
info
and
also,
I
need
to
submit
an
a
full
access
key
or
like
well,
it's
it's
some
like.
Sometimes
you
can
get
away
with
other
type
with
function.
Access
key,
but
let's
focus
on
the
simple
case
usually
just
use
a
full
access
key
so
that
account
can
have
control
over
itself
like
I
can
once
I
create
that
account,
I
cannot
delete
it.
I
cannot
transfer
tokens
from
it.
It's
not
controlled
by
for
all.near.
A
That's
why
so,
most
of
the
time
to
create
an
account,
you
usually
need
to
specify
these
three
actions
create
account,
transfer
some
tokens
to
cover
the
storage
and
specify
the
function
key
for
the
the
the
full
x
key.
There
are
some
exceptions,
but
overall
that's
the
case.
How
do
you
create
the
sub
account?
It's?
There
are
different
types
of
tools,
essentially
what
at
the
end,
what
you
want
is
to
submit
a
transaction
like
this
one
to
help
you
with
it,
you
can
use
near
cli.
A
A
B
A
C
A
C
A
B
Is
just
okay
if
we
actually
interested
in
these
questions,
provided
the
additional
information
like
on
the
web
wallet,
minimum
balance
on
the
web
wallet
is
0.35
and
this
contract
will
give
0.05
and,
like
you,
can't
even
delete
account
and
transfer
this
funds.
This
is
a
contract
by
vlad's
by
valgrina.
C
B
A
A
D
A
It
was
created
in
genesis,
it
has
some
amount
of
tokens,
it
doesn't
really
need
much
and
it
it
it.
It
has
quite
a
lot
of
traffic
and
going
through
it
to
essentially
create
accounts
and
also
like,
where
is
different
types
of
usage,
goes
through
this
contract
that
is
deployed
to
near
account,
so
just
to,
let's
probably
not.
B
Dive
into
it
like
ask
a
curious
question
like
if,
for
example,
near
is
an
account,
so
it
is
basically
a
contract
which
can
create
another
accounts.
Does
it
actually
like
mean
that
this
account
must
store
somewhere
in
his
state?
Which
names
are
free,
like
I
mean
not
free
but
like
which
one
is
actually
settled
and
not
available
anymore?.
A
A
A
B
A
So
the
actually
previously
when,
when
the
network
just
started,
any
account
could
create
any
other
account,
and
the
reason
for
like
for
this
was
to
just
you
need
to
sign
the
transaction.
Somehow
I
need
to
you
need
to
fund
the
new
account.
That
was
the
main
reason
and
after
that
we
realized
well.
If
a
fraud
account
can
create,
let's
say,
root
account
or
like
near
account
on
the
network.
C
B
C
C
A
A
Yeah,
it's
a
it's
a
government
governance
question.
The
implementation
detailed
that
currently
only
foundation
has
the
access
key
that
is
allowed
to
create
new
top-level
accounts.
As
far
as
understood.
Okay,
thank
you
and
that's
that's
why
we
have
recently
created
aurora
account
on
mainnet,
specifically
for
our
project.
A
As
you
can
see,
there
is
register
account
which
submitted
this
transaction
where
the
receiver
was
aurora
name
and
they
it
was
funded
with
0.1
here
and
it
it
gave
the
error
account.
This
account
this
access
key
and
after
that
aurora
is
completely
independent.
Account
register
can
not
do
anything
with
aurora.
You
cannot.
C
A
A
A
A
Yep
and
what
exactly
is
that
is
it's
a
hex
representation?
60
16
well
base
16
representation
of
bytes
of
the
public
key
that
is
generated
offline,
so
basically,
you
can
create
an
account
on
mir
without
that
create
account
action.
As
you
can
see,
this
account
has
only
been
involved
with
two
transfers,
so
there
are
only
two
transactions
on
this
account.
Both
are
transfer
and
it
and
they
succeeded.
A
C
A
This
one,
so
when
I
wanted
to
create
an
account
80.
near
I
needed
to
explicitly
state,
I
want
to
create
an
account
if
such
account
already
exists,
this
will
fail
and
transaction
will
not
go
through.
I
also
need
to
transfer
tokens
to
to
bait
the
storage
and
I
need
to
specify
the
access
full
access
key.
A
A
A
C
C
C
C
A
A
A
A
A
C
C
A
A
A
A
It's
a
seed
like
a
random
seed.
If
you
are
familiar
with
that
concept
more
closely
from
which
the
algorithm
will
start
the
generation
of
the
key
pair,
and
if
we
specify
the
same
initial
state,
then
we
will
receive
the
same
public
key
and
private
key
again
and
again.
So
this
is
the
the
concept
of
how
seed
phrase
is
used.
You
cannot
generate
seed
phrase
from
public
key
and.
D
A
Private
key
once
you
have
it,
so
I
cannot
recover
the
the
the
seed
phrase
from
this
information
anymore.
It
the
the
order,
is
the
following:
you
generate
the
seed
phrase
and
then
from
it
you
generate
the
the
public
key
and
private
key,
and
what
I
want
us
to
look
at
is
that
account
id
so
the
tool
just
generated
this
json
file,
that's
all
it
did
and
as
you
can
see,
there
is
some
account
id
in
place.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Sorry
for
using
my
experimental
tooling,
but
I
find
it
a
bit
easier
to
to
show,
especially
when
you
just
want
to
construct
a
a
transaction.
So
it's
a
nice
questionnaire
here
it
asks
various
questions,
whether
to
keep
it
simple
or
whatever
you
go
to
mainnet,
because
I
signed
the
tokens.
I
could
actually
send
the
tokens
and
test
that
I
I
really
forgot
that
they
could
do
it
and
it
would
be
much
easier
to
handle
so
the
account
the
sending
the
transaction
is
now
this
new
account
over
here.
D
A
So,
to
do
that,
I
I
just
want
to
send
transaction
to
itself
and
given
that
they
have
a
full
access
key
to
do
that,
I
can
do
it.
I
want
to
add
a
new
action.
I
want
to
delete
an
account
and
the
beneficiary
would
be
folded
here,
so
the
account
that
will
receive
the
remaining
fonts,
but
I
don't
want
to
add
anything
else
and
I
want
to
use
well,
let's,
let's
keep
it
simple.
I
will
like
explicitly
put
it
here.
C
A
A
C
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Yeah,
probably,
to
do
that,
I
will
just
link
us
to
certain
materials
that
we
already
have.
The
devex
team
already
created
a
lot
of
tutorials
on
how
to
develop
contracts
in
rust
and
assembly
script,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
examples
to
play
with.
So
I
will
give
you
some
pointers
and
we'll
briefly
cover
the
topic.
I
I
don't
want
us
to
jump
into
like
full-blown
development.
B
Yeah
we
we
can
like
plants
somehow
like
like
from.
In
my
opinion,
our
team
is
like
public,
not
interfaces.
We
should
know
how
to
create
a
contract
and
what
was
going
on
there
so
just
to
understand
what
the
pain
points
might
be
for
the
developers,
because
we
actually
this
last
break
between
developers
and
in
your
core
itself,
and
it
would
be
great.
B
D
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
so
like
when
we
add
this
access
key,
for
example,
if
you
log
into
an
application,
it
automatically
gives
you
the
the
access
key
of
that
application
when
you
log
in
with
wallet
like
how
is
that
managed
like?
How
do
you
store
this
access
key
like
what?
What
permissions
can
you
give
to
an
access
key,
that's
like
unclear
to
me
because,
like
it
seems
to
me
that
every
app
has
a
different
access
key
and
every
access
key
has
like
a
set
of
permissions.
D
A
D
A
A
A
A
It's
it's
somewhat
easy
when
you
follow
it
up
and
like
have
this
walkthrough
as
I
did,
but
I
I
feel
like
that
our
material
are
not
sometimes
discoverable
very
well
as
just
we
like
realized.
I
I
knew
that
we
had
some
dogs,
but
sandy
didn't
so
it's
we.
We
need
to
promote
more
on
like
when
we
create
such
materials.
D
A
A
And
follow
the
pull
requests
at
least
like
what's
headed
there,
it
probably
as
of
right
now
at
this
stage
it
is
the
best
thing
to
do
because,
like
we
had
a
lot
of
new
tutorials
there
like
bogdan,
has
fixed
indexer
tutorial
recently,
and
we
constantly
update
the
docs
and
clarify
them
olga.
It
has
also
been
a
major
contributor
to
our
docs
lately
to
improve
information
about
lock-ups.
So
definitely
a
lot
of
improvements
all
around.
B
A
Because
of
aurora
launch
so
once
that
is
out
of
the
door,
he
he
said
that
he
would
have
more
time
to
work
on
other
topics,
but
overall
yeah
I
I
saw
how
he
improved
and
helped
borden
and
with
the
indexer
tutorial
like
how
to
restructure
it
for
more
readability,
and
you
can
also
like
review
certain
pull
requests
and
help
to
clarify
the
questions
that
you're
not
clear.
Even
after
reading
the
like
proposed
pull
requests
as
an
example,
so
I
encourage
everybody
to
at
least
have
a
look
over
there
all
right.
A
A
B
A
Yeah,
do
we
have
a
guest
book
in
rust?
I
don't
believe
so.
Russ
status
message
probably
is
also
quite
simple
to
comprehend
so
guest
book
and
status
message
like
good
examples.
You
can
start
with
counter
if
you
feel
like
totally
lost
to
just
learn
the
very
basic
entry
points,
and
there
is
counter
example
in
assembly
script
and
in
rust.
A
A
At
least,
let's
start
from
there
and
let's
collect
your
feedback,
was
it
simple?
Was
it
clear
was?
Was
it
smooth
experience
to
get
get
up
and
running
was
most
experienced
to
understand
where
to
go
next
because
it
seems
like
sometimes
I,
like.
I
fail
exactly
right
there
like.
Okay,
it
works
it's
already
created
for
me.
It's
it's
fine,
but.
