Gas Optimization Techniques
While deploying to Avalanche intrinsically offers extremely cheap, sub-second transactional finality, running highly complex multithreaded AI Agents 24/7 evaluating billions of states onchain can still accumulate high operational costs.
PyVax transpiles Python down into the Yul / EVM Assembly layer, offering unique memory packaging optimizations automatically.
Storage Packing
Unlike dynamically sized Python objects, Solidity natively groups 256-bit slots. PyVax will automatically attempt to pack sequential memory variables to save deployment and modification gas limits.
from pyvax import Contract
class Unoptimized(Contract):
# This consumes THREE 256-bit EVM slots (60,000 Gas initialization)
health: int = 100
is_alive: bool = True
mana: int = 50
class Optimized(Contract):
# PyVax maps Uint8 + Bool + Uint8 identically into exactly ONE 256-bit slot
# (20,000 Gas initialization)
health: pyvax.Uint8 = 100
is_alive: bool = True
mana: pyvax.Uint8 = 50
Abstracting Loops to Agents
Never execute unbounded iteration loops (such as mapping over unpredictable array lengths) natively within a @action or @agent_action. Instead, offload the computational processing loop entirely to the Python environment before submitting the signature.
class LootVault(Contract):
# ❌ AVOID: Processing logic onchain burns exponential Gas
@action
def give_gold_to_everyone(self, players: list):
for player in players:
self._mint(player, "gold", 100)
# ✅ PREFER: Using the CLI / Wallet SDK to batch interactions uniquely
@agent_action
def batch_mint(self, target_player: address):
self._mint(target_player, "gold", 100)
And in your Agent script executing locally on your AWS droplet:
wallet = AgentWallet("dispatcher-bot")
# Process the O(N) loop Offchain at ZERO Cost
for player in fetch_active_players_from_db():
wallet.execute("0xLootVault...", "batch_mint", [player])
