Definition: Ethereum account model


The Ethereum accounting system that keeps track of the user's available ether balance. The account model is like a bank checking or savings account with the balance being maintained by the system. Contrast with the very unusual "unspent transaction output" method used in Bitcoin (see UTXO). See Ethereum accounts and crypto glossary.
