Nonce
The nonce field in a transaction always starts with 0 (zero) for an EOA that initiates the transaction. The nonce keeps increasing by one for every transaction an EOA initiates. The nonce also specifies the execution order of the transactions initiated from an EOA. When multiple transactions initiated from an EOA are in the pending state, then the EVM executes a transaction that has a lower nonce value for that EOA.
