CREATE3

This contract library enables EVM contract creation in a similar way to CREATE2, but without including the contract initCode on the address derivation formula. It can be used to generate deterministic contract addresses that aren't tied to a specific contract code.

EIP-3171 aims to implement this funcionality natively, in the meantime this library should emulate the same behavior with a small cost overhead.

Features

• Deterministic contract address based on msg.sender + salt
• Same contract addresses on different EVM networks
• Lightweight and without clutter
• Supports any EVM compatible chain with support for CREATE2
• Payable contract creation (forwarded to child contract)
• Constructors supported
• Standard contract init code (aka, Etherscan verification supported)

Limitations

• More expensive than CREATE or CREATE2 (Fixed extra cost of ~55k gas)

Usage

Call the create3 method on the Create3 library, provide the contract creationCode and a salt. Different contract codes will result on the same address as long as the same salt is provided.

    meaningOfLife = _meaning;
    owner = _owner;
  }
}

contract Deployer {
  function deployChild() external {
    Create3.create3(
      keccak256(bytes("<my salt>")), 
      abi.encodePacked(
        type(Child).creationCode,
        abi.encode(
          42,
          msg.sender
        )
      )
    );
