Description

Portions of the documentation site use the phrase "account creation fee" in an overloaded manner, which can be quite confusing to reconcile. This is particularly true now that the Segmented Transaction Fees documentation is live.

Examples:

I think to clear this up we should do two things:

  • Align on the terminology here. Is the initial 0.001 flow an account creation fee, or is it a "minimum storage balance"
  • Segmented Transction Fee documentation should:
    • Refer to the operation as "AuthAccount" instead of the descriptive "create account"
    • Point to the documentation on storage fees for new accounts and note that the "minimum storage balance" must still be satisfied by the payer.

Research direction

Read the storage/account-fee sections at the flow-token, flow-cli, and dapp-development links, then compare them with Segmented Transaction Fees. Confirm the agreed terminology and update the referenced documentation so AuthAccount, minimum storage balance, and storage-fee guidance are consistent and cross-linked.
