Project Overview :​

Proposal for the RFP titled ink!/pallet/solidity performance benchmarking.

Overview​

There are multiple ways to implement the logic in substrate i.e using pallets or ink smart contracts, or even writing solidity code and compiling it to WASM with the help of a solang compiler. We have to benchmark the performance metrics of the logic implemented using each of the above methods. This will help new developers to decide the best tool to implement the logic.

Project Details​

We will use following tools to benchmark the ink smart contract/pallet:

Milestones​

Milestone 1 — Basic benchmarking​

  • Estimated duration: 3 weeks
  • FTE: 1
  • Costs: 5000 DAI
NumberDeliverableSpecification
0a.LicenseApache 2.0
0b.DocumentationWe will provide both inline documentation of the code and a live demo.
0c.Testing GuideCore functions will be fully covered by unit tests to ensure functionality and robustness. In the guide, we will describe how to run these tests.
0e.ArticleWe will publish an article that explains how each implementation technique performs, and when to choose which.
1.Performance metricsAfter examining the existing benchmarking tools and discussing with their developers, we believe weight alone serves as a good metric to analyse performance.
2.Pallet: Basic Read & WriteWe will create some pallets which expose simple methods for writing to storage and reading from on-chain storage.
3.Ink Smart Contract: Basic Read & WriteWe will create some ink smart contracts which expose simple methods for writing to storage and reading from on-chain storage.
4.Library: BenchmarkingWe will deliver a Rust library that allows calling both the pallet's extrinsics and contract's public methods multiple times and return the benchmarks.

Milestone 2 — Integrate native solidity & solang-compiled solidity​

  • Estimated duration: 3 weeks
  • FTE: 1
  • Costs: 5000 DAI
