## 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the extremely low probability (and lack of adequate testing possibilities) no explicit checks should be added to ensure that external transaction signing or
|
||
|
|
the invoking of the `CREATE` instruction can result in a precompile address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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.
