Associate tokens to an account

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.

There is no limit on the number of token IDs that can be associated to an account. Reference HIP-367.

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

Java

//Associate a token to an account
TokenAssociateTransaction transaction = new TokenAssociateTransaction()
        .setAccountId(accountId)
        .addTokenId(tokenId);

//Build the unsigned transaction, sign with the private key of the account that is being associated to a token, submit the transaction to a Hedera network
TransactionId transactionId = transaction.build(client).sign(accountKey).execute(client);

//Request the receipt of the transaction
TransactionReceipt getReceipt = transactionId.getReceipt(client);

//Obtain the transaction consensus status
Status transactionStatus = getReceipt.status;

System.out.println("The transaction consensus status " +transactionStatus);

JavaScript

//Associate a token to an account 
const transaction = new TokenAssociateTransaction()
        .setAccountId(accountId)
        .addTokenId(tokenId); //Will change to addTokenId()

//Build the unsigned transaction, sign with the private key of the account that is being associated to a token, submit the transaction to a Hedera network
const transactionId = await transaction.build(client).sign(accountKey).execute(client);

//Request the receipt of the transaction
const getReceipt = await transactionId.getReceipt(client);

//Obtain the transaction consensus status
const transactionStatus = getReceipt.status;

console.log("The transaction consensus status " +transactionStatus);
