43. Create2 and deterministic addresses

Knowing an address before you deploy.

AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

`CREATE` derives an address from the deployer and nonce; `CREATE2` derives it from the deployer, a salt and the init code hash, so it is predictable and reproducible across chains.

solidity
address predicted = address(uint160(uint256(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(
    bytes1(0xff), deployer, salt, keccak256(initCode)
)))));

This powers counterfactual wallets and factories: you can send funds to an address before the contract exists.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.

  • · 75% or higher marks the topic complete.

Check your understanding

  1. 1. What does CREATE2 depend on?

  2. 2. What is a counterfactual deployment?

  3. 3. Does changing constructor arguments change the CREATE2 address?
