| 1352 | Specify restricted address range for precompiles/system contracts | Alex Beregszaszi (axic) | https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-1352-specify-restricted-address-range-for-precompiles-system-contracts/1151 | Draft | Standards Track | Core | 2018-07-27 |
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 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000ffff 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 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000ffff 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
