I am forking the Sushiswap Exchange code for educational purposes, and I have come across a variable in the code called INIT_CODE_HASH
. I am struggling to understand exactly how this variable works, and how it is used in the various DeFi platforms.
My limited understanding is that INIT_CODE_HASH
is used to verify which function of a contract a caller is calling, by using the hash of the init code (Not really sure what the init code is). For some reason I don't quite understand, this is both for security and efficiency purposes.
My Question:
What is INIT_CODE_HASH
, and how is it calculated / used?
