Update an Account
A transaction that updates the properties of an existing account. The network will store the latest updates on the account. If you would like to retrieve the state of an account in the past, you can query a mirror node.
Transaction Fees
Transaction Signing Requirements
- The account key(s) are required to sign the transaction
- If you are updating the keys on the account the OLD KEY and NEW KEY must sign
- If either is a key list then the key list keys are all required to sign
- If either is a threshold key, the threshold value is required to sign
- If you do not have the required signatures, the network will throw an INVALID_SIGNATURE error
Account Properties
Field
Description
Key
The new key for the account. The old key and new key must sign the transaction. If the old key or new key is a threshold key then only the threshold of the old key and new key are required to sign the transaction.
Expiration
The new expiration for the account
Receiver Signature Required
If true, all the account keys must sign any transaction depositing into this account (in addition to all withdrawals).
default: false
Max Automatic Token Associations
Setting this account property will modify the existing automatic token association value. If you are trying to reduce the number of auto token association slots, please make sure those slots are empty. If those slots are not empty, please dissociate tokens that were auto associated. The max automatic token association is 1,000 token IDs.
Memo
Add or update a short description that should be recorded with the state of the account entity (maximum length of 100 characters). Anyone can view this memo on the network.
Auto Renew Period
The new period of time in which the account will auto-renew in seconds. The account is charged tinybars for every auto-renew period. Duration type is in seconds. For example, one hour would result in an input value of 3,600 seconds.
NOTE: This is fixed to approximately 3 months (7890000 seconds). Any other value will return the following error: AUTORENEW_DURATION_NOT_IN_RANGE.
default: 2,592,000 seconds
Proxy Account
The new account ID to which this account is proxy staked.
