Minimal Reproducible Code or Repo Link

The deployment process for the ERC-2470 factory is based on the "nick method" (pre-signed transaction). Unfortunately, this method relies on non-EIP-155 transactions, which zkSync Era enforces, causing the transaction to be rejected. The repository describing the deterministic deployment approach can be found here:
https://github.com/ethereum/ercs/blob/master/ERCS/erc-2470.md

Does this work on other EVMs? (If yes, please list at least 1 of them)

Yes, the deployment works on networks that do not enforce EIP-155. Most networks already support the deterministic deployment contract, but zkSync Era's enforcement of EIP-155 prevents this deployment

Description of What Your Contract Does

The ERC-2470 factory provides a deterministic address for a singleton contract, enabling efficient and reusable contract deployments. Its deployment method involves a pre-signed transaction (nick method) that relies on pre-EIP-155 mechanics.

Additional Details

We’re experiencing a deployment issue. The chain enforces EIP-155, and this factory uses a pre-signed transaction that does not comply with EIP-155. Consequently, our deployment attempts are being rejected by the zkSync Era RPC provider.

For context, the deterministic deployment project (nick factory) follows the same deployment method using pre-signed, non-EIP-155 transactions. While it is supported and present on most other networks, it is not available on zkSync Era. We’d like to know if there’s any way to deploy ERC-2470 on zkSync Era, or if there’s a workaround to bypass this limitation.

Looking forward to your guidance!

Hey @juliopavila. EIP-155 transactions are not enforced. See this discussion for example. The issue you are experiencing must be for some other reason. Can you share any more details?
