Django: Can't set up custom django User model

I want to set up my own django User model because I need additional fields, but I am getting the error. I read a lot of posts but I didn't find solution. What is the problem?

Code models.py:

class User(AbstractBaseUser):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True),
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=50, unique=True),
    city = models.TextField(max_length=30, blank=True),
    friends = models.ManyToManyField("Account", blank=True)

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username']

Code admin.py

admin.site.register(User)

Code admin settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'users.apps.UsersConfig'
]

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.User'

Error:

Exception in thread django-main-thread:

    return self.fields_map[field_name]
KeyError: 'username'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Why you are mentioning REQUIRED_Fields

USERNAME_FIELD = 'username'

When you don't give arguments as Null = true or blank = true as default they become required ones. So Don't Mention them Go like this:

class User(AbstractBaseUser):
     username = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True),
     email = models.EmailField(max_length=50, unique=True),
     city = models.TextField(max_length=30, blank=True),
     friends = models.ManyToManyField("Account", blank=True)

And define Your Admin.py

from .models import User
from django.contrib import admin


class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ["id", "username"]
    
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
