# Creating new Accounts

## Creating new Accounts

In order to use account abstraction to create a new custom account, there are certain components that the dApp developer will have to create based on the needs of their application:

* `Account` contract, which implements the validation logic in the `validateUserOp` method, and any execution logic that a user operation can require.
* `AccountFactory` contract, which is in charge, as said above, of creating/deploying new custom account contracts.
* Some client code that builds the user ops that are compatible with the verification rules implemented in the `AccountFactory`.
* A **paymaster** is an optional part of the AA architecture. IoTeX provides a paymaster service for **Testnet** only at [https://paymaster.testnet.w3bstream.com](https://paymaster.testnet.w3bstream.com/). The role of the paymaster is to sponsor the gas needed to execute user operations, either sponsoring them completely or allowing users to pay for them in various tokens.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.iotex.io/blockchain/build/web3-development/account-abstraction/creating-new-accounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
