<p>You can use the same address over and over. There is nothing such as auto-creation. The safety for Shelley addresses is the same.</p>

I think the OP is referring to the auto selection of a change address.

Am I correct in understanding that this is not foreseen because it is contrary to [EUTxO](https://docs.cardano.org/plutus/eutxo-explainer)?

# Disable cardano address generation on transaction

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-11-11)

I have instances of `cardano-node` and `cardano-wallet`.

Can you tell me how to disable auto-creation of an address for each transaction?

I understand that it is not safe, but I need to do it for tests.
