I'm trying to understand the concept of a contract creator address in the context of blockchain and smart contracts. Could someone explain what it is and how it's used?

These addresses are not randomly generated but are derived from specific parameters.

By combining these parameters, a unique contract address is generated, ensuring that each contract has its own distinct identifier.

One of these parameters is the creator's address, which refers to the wallet address of the individual or entity that deployed the contract.

Another parameter is the nonce, which is a counter that tracks the number of transactions sent by the creator for Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs).

For contract creators, the nonce instead represents the number of contracts they have previously deployed.
