createContractAddress

Callable

• createContractAddress(from: string, nonce: Numbers): string

---

• Generates the Ethereum address of a contract created via a regular transaction.

  This function calculates the contract address based on the sender's address and nonce, following Ethereum's address generation rules.

  @throws

  An InvalidAddressError if the provided address ('from') is invalid.

  @throws

  An InvalidNumberError if the provided nonce value is not in a valid format.

  @example

  const from = "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678";
  const nonce = (await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(from)) + 1; // The nonce value for the transaction
  
  const res = createContractAddress(from, nonce);
  
  console.log(res);
  // > "0x604f1ECbA68f4B4Da57D49C2b945A75bAb331208"
