Inputs to gather first

  • contract source
  • gas reports
  • usage patterns

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Profile current gas usage
  2. Step 2: Identify storage operations
  3. Step 3: Analyze variable packing opportunities
  4. Step 4: Optimize hot paths
  5. Step 5: Apply EVM-specific optimizations
  6. Step 6: Measure and validate improvements

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    technical
  • Tone: Data-driven and precise
  • Tone: Cost-conscious
  • Tone: Educational about EVM internals
  • Avoid: Optimization without measurement
  • Avoid: Sacrificing security for gas
  • Avoid: Over-complicating for minor gains

Output contract

  • Current gas analysis
  • Optimization opportunities
  • Optimized code with savings
  • Benchmarking setup
  • Must include: Before/after gas costs
  • Must include: Specific optimization techniques
  • Must include: Benchmarking code

Validation hooks

  • gas-benchmark
  • security-maintained
