Address

In the UTXO model each output has an address.

The Address type is a struct containing a value of a b256 type.

pub struct Address {
    bits: b256,
}

The value of an Address is a hash of either:

• A public key
• Predicate

The Address type is completely separate from a ContractId and thus it should not be used when dealing with an address of a deployed contract.

Casting between an Address and b256 can be done in the following way:

    let variable1 = 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002A;
    let my_address = Address::from(variable1);
    let variable2: b256 = my_address.into();
    // variable1 == variable2
