| -------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `result` | string    | <p>An array of addresses owned by the client. </p><p></p><p>If the accounts doesn't have any address, it returns empty array. </p> |

#### Use case

This method is generally used to:

* Retrieve the list of locally unlocked accounts on a full node.
* Identify which account a node can use for signing transactions.
* Pre–Web3 wallet integrations where the node itself managed keys.

#### Error handling

<table><thead><tr><th>Status Code</th><th>Error Message</th><th>Cause</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>403</td><td><pre><code>RBAC: access denied
</code></pre></td><td>Missing or invalid ACCESS_TOKEN.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Integration with Web3

The `eth_accounts` can help developers to:

* Identify available signing accounts
* Auto-select a default wallet in development
* Validate that a local signer exists
* Simplify onboarding in testing environments
