# Associated accounts

> Seitrace recognizes and displays both associated and non-associated accounts

## Overview

On Sei Network, each account has two distinct addresses:

* **EVM Address**: Starts with `0x...`
* **Native Sei Address**: Starts with `sei...`

These addresses represent the same account but exist in different execution environments (EVM and Native SEI). To provide a seamless user experience, Sei blockchain supports associating these two addresses into a single account.

## How association works

**Associated account**: An associated account is one where the EVM and Native Sei addresses have been linked. This linkage occurs automatically when a user performs any transaction from either address. Once associated, the following features come into play:

* **Unified balance**: The SEI balance will be updated regardless of which address (EVM or Native Sei) is used for transactions.
* **Synchronized data**: All data related to transactions, token transfers, and token holdings will be synchronized across both addresses.

Seitrace recognizes and displays both associated and non-associated accounts, providing comprehensive visibility into account activities. Here’s how it works:

* **Associated accounts**: Seitrace identifies and links the two addresses, displaying them as a single account with merged transaction history, combined balances and token holdings.
* **Non-associated accounts**: For accounts that are not yet associated, Seitrace displays the separate EVM and Native Sei addresses and their respective data.
