Associates the provided Hedera account with the provided Hedera token(s). Hedera accounts must be associated with a fungible or non-fungible token first before you can transfer tokens to that account. In the case of NON_FUNGIBLE Type, once an account is associated, it can hold any number of NFTs (serial numbers) of that token type. The Hedera account that is being associated with a token is required to sign the transaction.
- If the provided account is not found, the transaction will resolve to INVALID_ACCOUNT_ID.
- If the provided account has been deleted, the transaction will resolve to ACCOUNT_DELETED.
- If any of the provided tokens is not found, the transaction will resolve to INVALID_TOKEN_REF.
- If any of the provided tokens has been deleted, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN_WAS_DELETED.
- If an association between the provided account and any of the tokens already exists, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN_ALREADY_ASSOCIATED_TO_ACCOUNT.
- If the provided account's associations count exceeds the constraint of maximum token associations per account, the transaction will resolve to TOKENS_PER_ACCOUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
- On success, associations between the provided account and tokens are made and the account is ready to interact with the tokens.
{% hint style="info" %} There is no limit on the number of token IDs that can be associated to an account. Reference HIP-367. {% endhint %}
Transaction Signing Requirements
- The key of the account the token is being associated to
- Transaction fee payer account key
Transaction Fees
- Please see the transaction and query fees table for base transaction fee
- Please use the Hedera fee estimator to estimate your transaction fee cost
