Currently on mainnet, you have to be approved in order to create accounts. This is a security protection as we enable more features on mainnet. This will be removed in the future once we have more secure features on mainnet. If you are a wallet or app and you want approval to deploy or create accounts, please apply here: [Smart Contract Review](https://buildwithflow.typeform.com/to/EkfaboAx)
