}# Gas Optimization Report
## Summary
- Current average gas: X units
- Optimized average gas: Y units
- Savings: Z% reduction
## Optimizations Applied
### 1. Storage Optimization
- Packed struct fields (saved X bytes)
- Replaced vectors with tables (O(n) → O(1))
- Removed redundant fields
### 2. Computation Optimization
- Cached price calculations (saved X operations)
- Batched updates (N calls → 1 call)
- Early returns in validation
### 3. Event Optimization
- Reduced event size from X to Y bytes
- Removed redundant event fields
## Measurements
| Function | Before | After | Savings |
| -------- | ------ | ------ | ------- |
| mint | 50,000 | 35,000 | 30% |
| transfer | 30,000 | 25,000 | 17% |
| swap | 80,000 | 60,000 | 25% |
## Recommendations
1. Consider further optimizations for high-frequency functions
2. Monitor mainnet usage patterns
3. Set up gas usage alertssecurity-auditgenerate-testsdeploy-contractsSTORAGE_OPTIMIZATION.md.env~/.aptos/config.yaml
