CreateAccountOperation

public class CreateAccountOperation : Operation, @unchecked Sendable

Represents a create account operation that creates and funds a new account.

CreateAccountOperation creates a new account on the Stellar network and funds it with an initial balance of native XLM. The new account must not already exist on the network, and the starting balance must meet the minimum account reserve requirement.

The minimum starting balance is determined by the network’s base reserve (currently 0.5 XLM) multiplied by 2 (one for the account, one for the native balance). Additional reserves are required for each trustline, offer, signer, or data entry added to the account.

The operation will fail if:

• The destination account already exists
• The starting balance is below the minimum reserve requirement
• The source account has insufficient XLM balance
• The destination account ID is invalid

Example:

// Create and fund a new account with 10 XLM
let newKeyPair = try KeyPair.generateRandomKeyPair()
let createAccount = CreateAccountOperation(
    sourceAccountId: nil,
    destination: newKeyPair,
    startBalance: 10.0
)

// Or using an existing account ID
let createAccount2 = try CreateAccountOperation(
    sourceAccountId: nil,
    destinationAccountId: "GNEW...",
    startBalance: 10.0
)
