42 - Contract Creation
Contract creation transactions are sent to a special destination address called the zero address i.e. 0x0
.
A contract creation transaction contains a data payload with the compiled bytecode to create the contract.
An optional ether amount in the Value field will create the new contract with a starting balance.
