eth_getCode on Zircuit
Returns the deployed bytecode at an address. An empty result (0x) means the address is an EOA, not a contract — a common way to distinguish the two.
The canonical EOA-vs-contract test: non-empty bytecode almost always means a contract. It returns 0x for a contract not yet deployed at that block, and for EIP-7702-delegated EOAs you'll see a short delegation indicator rather than full code.
