reference implementation according to chatgpt:
` const { utils } = require('ethers');
function isNullAddress(address) { try { // Normalize the input address const normalizedAddress = utils.getAddress(address); // Check if the normalized address is equal to the null address (all zeros) return normalizedAddress === '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'; } catch (error) { // If the getAddress function throws an error, the input is not a valid address return false; } }
const testAddress = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'; console.log(isNullAddress(testAddress)); // Output: true `
