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. When you transfer a custom fungible or non-fungible token to the alias account ID, the token association step is skipped and the account will automatically be associated with the token upon creation. 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 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 currently no limit on the number of token IDs that can be associated with an account (reference HIP-367). Still, you can see TOKENS_PER_ACCOUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
responses for pre-HIP-367 transactions.
{% 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 the base transaction fee
- Please use the Hedera fee estimator to estimate your transaction fee cost
