# Accounts

## Accounts

An DaVinci account is an entity with an ether (DCOIN) balance that can send transactions on DaVinci. Accounts can be user-controlled or deployed as smart contracts.

### Account types <a href="#types-of-account" id="types-of-account"></a>

DaVinci has two account types:

* Externally-owned account (EOA) – controlled by anyone with the private keys
* Contract account – a smart contract deployed to the network, controlled by code.&#x20;

Both account types have the ability to:

* Receive, hold and send DCOIN and tokens
* Interact with deployed smart contracts
