Convex System Shutdown Benchmarks

This repository benchmarks performance of various Ethereum development frameworks by simulating a call to Convex's systemShutdown method. This method uses about 16M gas and performs a number of token transfers

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were run at mainnet block 14,445,961. Blocknative only simulates against the latest block (support for simulation at historical blocks is planned), so the Blocknative simulation was run first and other benchmarks were run against the same block.

Notes on benchmarks:

Usage

  1. Run cp .env.example .env, and in the resulting .env file enter a URL to an Ethereum archive node in the ETH_RPC_URL environment variable. (Alchemy provides free archive node data). Also fill out the TENDERLY_* variables to benchmark the Tenderly API

  2. Run yarn to install dependencies for Ganache and Hardhat

  3. Install Foundry's forge and Dapptools using the installation instructionshere and here respectively

  4. Run dapp update to install dependencies for Dapptools and Foundry

  5. Run any command in the Makefile to benchmark that tool. For example, use make benchmark-hardhat to run the simulation against Hardhat. Alternatively, run make benchmark-all to run all tools
