# Generate Validator Account
Every validator must have:
- A NEAR account, used to log in to the Octopus network, register the validator, etc.;
- An appchain account, used to set the session key of the validator node, manage the appchain assets, etc.
To create a NEAR account, please refer to Creating a NEAR Account (opens new window)
To create an appchain account, please use the following two browser plugin wallets:
- Polkadot{.js} Wallet (opens new window) is a simple browser extension tool that users can use to generate accounts, and use accounts to sign transactions.
- Avatar Wallet (opens new window) is a browser extension wallet designed for the Octopus network appchain ecosystem, supporting all native tokens of the Substrate appchain.
