Deploying identical smart contracts multiple times and trying to distinguish them












1















If I were to deploy the same smart contract to Ethereum multiple times, is there any way to distinguish them once they are on the block so that I can interact with one specific contract as opposed to the others?

    Well, obviously their deployed addresses will be different.

Everything on a blockchain is deterministic, so given the same contract with the same parameters (if any), including implicit parameters such as msg.sender, you will end up with the same contract bytecode onchain.



However, the two contracts will still be completely separate. Namely, on ethereum, they will be stored at different addresses, with distinct storage. Any future operations on the contracts will specify the to address, and only affect the state of the contract they act upon.
