# Function: deriveContactsSpace()

```ts
function deriveContactsSpace(
   accountKey, 
   owner, 
   provider?
): Promise<SpaceRecord>;
```

Defined in: [packages/core/src/space/account-registry.ts:156](https://github.com/leifriksheim/minca/blob/main/core/src/space/account-registry.ts#L156)

The account's contacts space, derived the same way: one `std.contact` per
person (`schemas/contacts.ts`). Its own space, not part of the registry, so
an app can be given the contacts without the whole account.
