Whirlpool is completely non-custodial. The term "account" refers to an address space covered by your recovery words and passphrase. Within Whirlpool there are two areas of this address space that are segregated from the rest of the wallet to preserve privacy.
Deposit
This account consists of all the bech32 UTXOs within your standard Samourai Wallet. UTXOs in this account have not been cycled through Whirlpool yet. You can receive deposits directly into this account or select UTXOs from this account to cycle.
Pre-mix
This account consists of all the UTXOs that are prepared to cycle but are still pending. UTXOs will remain in pre-mix until they have one confirmation and they are selected in a Whirlpool cycle. These UTXOs cannot be spent yet but will have priority in any Whirlpool cycle over UTXOs in the post-mix Account.
Post-mix
This account consists of all the UTXOs that have completed at least one cycle in Whirlpool. These UTXOs are available for spending from within Samourai Wallet, or available to cycle again or "remix" for greater privacy.
Tip: In Samourai, on the Whirlpool main screen, you can tap your Whirlpool balance to cycle between displaying your total Pre-mix Balance, your total Post-mix Balance, and your combined total Whirlpool Balance (Pre-mix balance + Post-mix Balance).
