Mantle-aware gas optimization workflow in Archon.

Gas Optimizer overview

Archon's Gas Optimizer finds code patterns that waste user cost, estimates impact, and stores optimization evidence in gas reports. It is designed to separate measurable improvements from speculative micro-optimizations.

What the optimizer analyzes

storage access patterns,
calldata and memory choices,
loop structure,
event payload size,
custom errors,
redundant external calls,
packing opportunities,
branch and revert behavior,
Mantle-specific calldata/data-availability cost.

Output

A gas optimization report includes detector hits, before/after snippets, expected risk, and gas-diff evidence when available. Cost Guard aggregates persisted gas_reports and gas_optimizations records rather than rendering placeholder metrics.

Order of operations

Confirm the contract is correct.
Run optimization analysis.
Apply the smallest safe patch.
Run gas-diff tests.
Re-run security tests.
Mint or attach proof only when the report is final.
