Description

Today we treat `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000` as an invalid address in all of our send forms, but Dapps can still send or send tokens to it, which basically always results in the loss of those funds.

This is only possible with the fault of a dapp, but we can hep prevent that type of dapp mistake.
