Create Account

The nature of blockchain development requires applications and users to have accounts. The IntelliJ IDE, along with the Aion4j plugin, allows developers to create accounts on the fly, and use them to deploy and interact with dApps.

To send transactions, deploy contracts and interact with them, you need an AION account with sufficient balance.

Local

Create an account with a specified amount of AION for testing on embedded AVM locally.

Right click anywhere in your AVM project and selecting Aion Virtual Machine → Embedded → Create Account. Then enter the address you want to create, and the amount of AION you want to be added into it. The address you enter must be a valid AION address. The Balance is in nAmp, where 1 AION = 10^18 nAmp.

Here’s ten sample addresses that you can use to create accounts on the embedded AVM (you are not limited to using just these addresses):

Addresses used on the embedded AVM have no real world value, and cannot be transferred over to any other network.

Remote

Create an account by right clicking anywhere in your AVM project and select Aion Virtual Machine → Remote → Create Account. It will generate you an Aion key pair that includes public address and private key.

Here’s a sample output:

Important: Keep your private key private and safe!
