The deployment script for a contract has the following logic. Take private key from database -> Create an account using Web3.eth.accounts.create() -> set the account as Admin in database -> deploy the contract.

I have a doubt here. If I try to run the script again, while creating the admin account from the same private key, will it create a new account (new address) or the same address and deploy the contract?

Thanks

    It will generate the same address because it doesn't literally "create" an account instead it just generates the address which is deterministic and will be the same forever. – Zartaj Afser Dec 18 '23 at 07:18
  • As @ZartajAfser says a private key only has one public key. There's an algorithm that always generate the same public key from the private key https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/3542/how-are-ethereum-addresses-generated. – Ismael Dec 28 '23 at 03:45
