Each account has its own blockchain (account-chain), where each block is a single operation that contains the entire state for that account (balance & representative). Thus, the latest block for each account (called a frontier) is all you need to know the current state for a given account. Blocks belong to an account, thus only the private key holder can produce a valid block for that account. ### Account @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ A string that starts with `nano_` (previously `xrb_`), then has 52 characters wh ### Wallet ID -Is just a local UUID that references a specific wallet (set of seed/private keys/info about them) in your node's local database file.
