# Account Management

> List, fund, impersonate, and generate test accounts.

## Overview

When Dokrypt starts a local chain, it automatically creates and funds a set of test accounts. You can manage these accounts and create new ones at any time.

## Default Accounts

By default, Dokrypt creates **10 accounts** funded with **10,000 ETH** each. Configure this in `dokrypt.yaml`:

```yaml theme={null}
settings:
  accounts: 10              # Number of accounts
  account_balance: "10000"  # ETH per account
```

Or per chain:

```yaml theme={null}
chains:
  ethereum:
    engine: anvil
    chain_id: 31337
    accounts: 20
    balance: "50000"
```

## Listing Accounts

```bash theme={null}
dokrypt accounts list
```

```
#   Address                                    Balance (ETH)
1   0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8  10000.00
2   0x3C44CdDdB6a900fa2b585dd299e03d12FA4293BC  10000.00
3   0x90F79bf6EB2c4f870365E785982E1f101E93b906  10000.00
4   0x15d34AAf54267DB7D7c367839AAf71A00a2C6A65  10000.00
5   0x9965507D1a55bcC2695C58ba16FB37d819B0A4dc  10000.00
...
```

## Funding Accounts

Set any account's balance:

```bash theme={null}
dokrypt accounts fund 0x1234...abcd 1000
```

The amount is in ETH. This replaces the current balance (it doesn't add to it).

## Impersonating Accounts

Allow transactions from any address without the private key:

```bash theme={null}
dokrypt accounts impersonate 0xdead...beef
```

Useful for:

* Interacting with contracts as their owner
* Simulating transactions from whale addresses
* Testing governance as specific voters

## Generating Accounts

Create additional funded accounts:

```bash theme={null}
dokrypt accounts generate 5
```

Generates 5 deterministic addresses, each funded with 10,000 ETH.

## Multi-Chain

All account commands support `--chain` for multi-chain setups:

```bash theme={null}
dokrypt accounts list --chain polygon
dokrypt accounts fund 0x1234... 500 --chain arbitrum
dokrypt accounts generate 10 --chain ethereum
```

## Account Generation

Dokrypt generates accounts deterministically from a seed. This means:

* The same accounts are generated every time
* Accounts are reproducible across machines
* Private keys are derived using ECDSA/secp256k1
* Addresses use EIP-55 checksumming
