Accounts

Accounts are the data and state storage mechanism for BBAChain.

Overview​

In BBAChain, accounts are used to store data and state. Every account has an owner program that controls how the account's data can be modified.

Account Structure​

An account contains:

  • Daltons: The account's balance in daltons (1 BBA = 1,000,000,000 daltons)
  • Data: A byte array of arbitrary data
  • Owner: The program that owns the account
  • Executable: Whether the account is an executable program
  • Rent Epoch: The epoch at which the account will next owe rent

Account Types​

System Accounts​

System accounts are owned by the System Program and are used for basic operations like transferring BBA.

Program Accounts​

Program accounts are owned by executable programs and contain program-specific data.

Data Accounts​

Data accounts store application state and are owned by programs.

Account Ownership​

Accounts are owned by programs. The owner program has exclusive rights to:

  • Modify the account's data
  • Assign ownership to another program
  • Decrease the account's daltons

Rent​

Accounts in BBAChain must maintain a minimum balance to remain exempt from rent collection. Accounts that don't meet the minimum balance are subject to rent collection.

Example​

import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@bbachain/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection("https://api-mainnet.bbachain.com");
const accountPubkey = new PublicKey("...");

const accountInfo = await connection.getAccountInfo(accountPubkey);
console.log("Owner:", accountInfo.owner.toBase58());
console.log("Daltons:", accountInfo.daltons);
console.log("Data:", accountInfo.data);
