Storage Optimization

Minimize storage operations which are expensive even on L2

Impact
High
Complexity
Medium
Type
Advanced
Key Benefits:
  • Use memory/calldata instead of storage when possible
  • Pack multiple values into single storage slots
  • Use events for data that doesn't need on-chain queries
  • Leverage SLOAD caching in single transaction
Example:

Reading from storage costs ~2100 gas vs 3 gas for memory

💾 Storage vs Memory Cost Analysis

Storage operations are expensive even on L2. See the cost difference between storage and memory operations.

1 read10 reads
Naive Storage Reads
10,500 gas

5 × 2,100 gas per SLOAD

With SLOAD Caching
10,488 gas

First: 2,100, rest: 100 each

Using Memory
15 gas

5 × 3 gas per MLOAD

🌟 Real-World Success Stories

🎯

Uniswap V4 Hooks

Used packed storage and transient storage (EIP-1153) to reduce swap costs by 30-40% compared to V3.

🔄

CoWSwap Batching

Intent-based batching reduces individual user costs by 50-80% by sharing solver overhead across all traders in a batch.

📦

Optimism Bedrock + Blobs

Migration to EIP-4844 blobs reduced average transaction costs from $0.50 to $0.05 - a 90% reduction in L1 data costs.

👤

Safe Smart Wallets

Account abstraction enables batching, gas sponsorship, and paymaster integration saving users 40-60% on routine operations.

📋

Implementation Checklist

  • Audit contract for storage optimization opportunities
  • Migrate to blob transactions if on post-Cancun L2
  • Implement batching for recurring operations
  • Consider intent-based protocols for swaps
  • Evaluate account abstraction for power users
