 - EOA stands for Externally Owned Account
 - Simply an account can be controlled by anyone with the <code>private keys</code>
 For example
 Your Metamask wallet is your EOA which has private-key

</li>
<li>Contract Accounts
</li>
</ol>
- A SmartContract deployed to the network, controlled by code. - A SmartContract in itself is an account that is controlled by <code>code</code> than a private key

For example SmartContract is used as a wallet to Store, Transfer cryptos.
<pre><code class="lang-solidity">function withdraw()public payable {
 require(msg.sender == owner , "Not the owner of this contract Account");
 // widthdraw process..
}
// so you see it is controlled by code rather then any private key 
// here only the owner can withdraw tokens

There are two types of Accounts that most of the Crypto-Peeps uses

* EOA
    
* Contract Accounts
    

### Let's dive deep into the theory

1. EOA
    
    \- EOA stands for Externally Owned Account
    
    \- Simply an account can be controlled by anyone with the `private keys`
    
    For example
    
    Your Metamask wallet is your EOA which has private-key
    
    ![A Beginner's Guide to Using Metamask Wallet](https://images.ctfassets.net/9sy2a0egs6zh/6ycyyPU5KvKhjcTUtu3k1R/ac5eb5edc2cb8656dde8e33a36d83b40/Institutional-Illustration.png?w=1024&q=100&fm=webp align="left")
    
2. Contract Accounts
    

\- A SmartContract deployed to the network, controlled by code.  
\- A SmartContract in itself is an account that is controlled by `code` than a private key

![Smart Contracts for Business Owners [2023 Complete Guide]](https://sloboda-studio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/img-1-1.png align="left")

For example  
SmartContract is used as a wallet to Store, Transfer cryptos.

```solidity
function withdraw()public payable {
    require(msg.sender == owner , "Not the owner of this contract Account");
    // widthdraw process..
}
// so you see it is controlled by code rather then any private key 
// here only the owner can withdraw tokens
```

### Difference in Accounts

* controls
    
* accessibility
    
* transaction and calling other accounts
