## Simple Summary
|
||
|
|
Specify an Ethereum address range occupied by precompiles and future system contracts. Regular accounts and contracts cannot obtain such an address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Abstract
|
||
|
|
The address range between 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000ff is reserved for precompiles and system contracts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
This will simplify certain future features where unless this is implemented, several exceptions must be specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Specification
|
||
|
|
The address range between 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000ff is reserved for precompiles and system contracts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a contract creation (as a result of a create transaction or a `CREATE` opcode) results in an address within this range, then it is rejected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rationale
|
||
|
|
N/A
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Backwards Compatibility
|
||
|
|
No contracts on the main network have been created at the specified addresses. As a result it should pose no backwards compatibility problems.
