# CREATE2 Deployer

## Overview

[`Addresses.create2`](#addressescreate2) is the address of the canonical CREATE2 deployer. Viem
configures it on Chains where its deployment has been verified.

## Recipes

### Predict a Contract Address

Use `Addresses.create2` when calculating the address of a deterministic deployment.

```ts twoslash
import { Addresses } from 'viem'
import { ContractAddress } from 'viem/utils'

const address = ContractAddress.fromCreate2({
  bytecode: '0x6000',
  from: Addresses.create2, // [!code focus]
  salt: '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002a',
})
```

## `Addresses.create2`

### Usage

```ts twoslash
import { Addresses } from 'viem'

const address = Addresses.create2
```

### Return Value

`Address.Address`
