37 - Recipient

The 20-byte Ethereum address of the transaction’s recipient which can be an EOA or a Contract Account.

  1. The Ethereum protocol does not validate recipient addresses in transactions. One can send a transaction to an address that has no corresponding private key or contract. Validation should be done at the user interface level.

  2. Note that there is no from address in the transaction because the EOA’s public key can be derived from the v, r, s components of the ECDSA signature and the transaction originator’s address can be derived from this public key
