What is the terminologi for an address that starts with tz and for one that starts with KT1? The former is controlled by a secret key, and the latter is controlled by a piece of Michelson code that was published on the blockchain.

Does this answer your question? What is the difference between implicit vs originated accounts?– arvidjSep 24, 2020 at 8:23

Not fully as the accepted answer uses "originated contracts" and the other uses "originated accounts".– Thorkil VærgeSep 24, 2020 at 8:32

@arvidj: this is a bit old. Since Babylon all accounts are delegatable, each smart contract has a script, and the only way to spend from or change the delegation of a smart contract is by running its code and having it emit the appropriate operation.– Raphaël CauderlierSep 24, 2020 at 8:32

I was looking for the official terminology, so I could ensure we used the same words.– Thorkil VærgeSep 24, 2020 at 8:40

As said in the glossary, tz accounts are called "implicit accounts" and KT1 accounts are called "originated accounts" or "smart contracts" (these two expressions are synonyms since Babylon).
