## Table Description

The `creation_traces` table contains information about the creation of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This includes the address of the contract, the address of the creator, the block number at which the contract was created, the transaction hash, and the contract's bytecode. This table is useful for understanding the deployment of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.

The `ethereum.creation_traces` table is a subset of the `traces` table, which contains information about all traces on the Ethereum blockchain. The `creation_traces` table is filtered to only include traces that create new smart contracts. The filter for this is `type` = `create`.

## Column Descriptions

| Column         | Type        | Description                                           |
| -------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `block_time`   | `timestamp` | Timestamp of the block containing this creation trace |
| `block_number` | `bigint`    | Block number containing this creation trace           |
| `tx_hash`      | `varbinary` | Hash of the transaction that created the contract     |
| `address`      | `varbinary` | Address of the newly created contract                 |
| `from`         | `varbinary` | Address that deployed the contract                    |
| `code`         | `varbinary` | Bytecode of the deployed contract                     |
| `block_month`  | `date`      | Month of the block (for partitioning)                 |

## Table Sample

<TableSample tableSchema="ethereum" tableName="creation_traces" />

## Examples

### Show the creation of a specific smart contract

```sql theme={null}
select * from ethereum.creation_traces
where contract_address = 0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d
```

### Show the creation of smart contracts by a specific creator

```sql theme={null}
select * from ethereum.creation_traces
where "from" = 0x0d4a11d5eeaac28ec3f61d100da81f6a1b65c9d6
```

### Show the creation of smart contracts in the last 10 days

```sql theme={null}
select 
    date_trunc('day', block_time) as day,
    count(*)
from ethereum.creation_traces
group by 1
order by 1 desc
limit 10
```
