External transactions must use shard-specific zero address #473

Closed jdowning100 closed 5 months ago

jdowning100 commented 2 years ago

Rationale

Currently, tx processing uses the zero address as a temporary address to credit and debit funds when applying an external transaction. However, to improve patricia merkle tree efficiency, a shard-specific zero address with the proper prefix should be used.

Implementation

TBD

Update: an 'ephemeral' state object should be used instead of the zero address.
