I implemented selfdestruct(), also it showed succeeded on Etherscan. Afterwards, I still am able to send transactions to the contract. Can you tell me why? Doesn't selfdestruct() delete the contract code & storage from the network. Why it still accepts subsequent transaction requests? Help please... Here the function:

function kill() public {
    selfdestruct(owner); 
}

selfdestruct does remove the code and storage from the network at that address, however it is still a valid address that can receive funds. There just happens to be no code there to handle the received funds.

  • that makes sense but when I call some functions on the contract, shouldn't it throw an error because there is no code left? I mean the interaction should be problematic right. It should not succeed. – gomozor Feb 24 '20 at 5:12
