## 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.
## Test Cases
N/A
## Implementation
N/A
