Simple Summary

To provide a new opcode, which returns the type of the address.

Abstract

This TIP specifies a new opcode, which determines whether the address type is a contract address.

Motivation

Some contracts need to limit its callers, such as some functions can only be called by the user, not by the contract.

Specification

A new opcode, ISCONTRACT, is introduced, with number 0xD4. The ISCONTRACT takes one argument from the stack, pushes to the stack the boolean value whether the address type is a contract address.

In case the address does not exist false is pushed to the stack.

example:

contract Test {
    function checkAddr(address addr) view public returns (bool) {
        return addr.isContract;
    }
}

The energy cost of the ISCONTRACT is 400.

Backwards Compatibility

There are no backwards compatibility concerns.

Test Cases

  1. The ISCONTRACT of a contract address is true.
  2. The ISCONTRACT of an account address is false.
  3. The ISCONTRACT of a non-existent address is false.
  4. The ISCONTRACT of a precompiled contract is false.
  5. The ISCONTRACT of self address in constructor function is true.
  6. The ISCONTRACT of a selfdestructed contract address is false.
