Ethereum accounts
Accounts are the main building blocks for the Ethereum ecosystem. It is an interaction between accounts that Ethereum wants to store as transactions in its ledger. There are two types of accounts available in Ethereum—externally owned accounts and contract accounts. Each account, by default, has a property named balance that helps in querying the current balance of Ether.
