Create an account
A transaction that creates a Hedera account. A Hedera account is required to interact with any of the Hedera network services as you need an account to pay for all associated transaction/query fees. You can visit the Hedera Developer Portal to create a previewnet or testnet account. You can also use third-party wallets to generate free mainnet accounts. To process an account create transaction, you will need an existing account to pay for the transaction fee. To obtain the new account ID, request the receipt of the transaction.
When creating a new account using the
