# Account

A WEMIX3.0 account is an object with a WEMIX balance that can send transactions from a WEMIX blockchain. This chapter describes how to create an External-Owned Account (EOA) and check the balance directly controlled by the user.

## **Create Account**

Account files are created in the keystore directory. To create a new account, use the following command.

```
gwemix wemix new-account --out <account-file-name>
```

{% hint style="info" %}
MetaMask allows creating new accounts conveniently without having to install gwemix directly. Wallet creation and WEMIX3.0 network settings are possible [through MetaMask](/en/quick-start/account/use-metamask.md).
{% endhint %}

## **Import Account**

Account files created externally can also be copied and used in the keystore directory.

```
mkdir {data_directory}/keystore
chmod 700 {data_directory}/keystore
cp <account-file-name> {data_directory}/keystore
```

## **Check Account Balance**

Access the gwemix console and run the following command to check the account balance.

```
eth.getBalance('{your_address}')
```

Because the gwemix console is a JavaScript console, a JavaScript function that reads all addresses in the Keystore can be used to read all balances as a function.

```
function checkAllBalances() { 
var i = 0; 
eth.accounts.forEach( function(e){
     console.log("eth.accounts["+i+"]: " + e + " \tbalance: " + web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e), "ether") + " ether"); 
i++; 
})
};
```
