Proposal for the RFP titled ink!/pallet/solidity performance benchmarking.
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.
We will use following tools to benchmark the ink smart contract/pallet:
- Ink Smart Contract - Smart Bench
- Pallet - Substrate Runtime Benchmarking Framework

We have explored the tools specified in the RFP. We have also come up with a high-level implementation plan and will start implementing it soon.

- Total Estimated Duration: 6 weeks
- Full-Time Equivalent (FTE): 1
- Total Costs: 10,000 DAI
- Rust
- Solidity
- Estimated duration: 3 weeks
- FTE: 1
- Costs: 5000 DAI
| Number | Deliverable | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 0a. | License | Apache 2.0 |
| 0b. | Documentation | We will provide both inline documentation of the code and a live demo. |
| 0c. | Testing Guide | Core 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. | Article | We will publish an article that explains how each implementation technique performs, and when to choose which. |
| 1. | Performance metrics | After 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 & Write | We will create some pallets which expose simple methods for writing to storage and reading from on-chain storage. |
| 3. | Ink Smart Contract: Basic Read & Write | We will create some ink smart contracts which expose simple methods for writing to storage and reading from on-chain storage. |
| 4. | Library: Benchmarking | We will deliver a Rust library that allows calling both the pallet's extrinsics and contract's public methods multiple times and return the benchmarks. |
- Estimated duration: 3 weeks
- FTE: 1
- Costs: 5000 DAI
| Number | Deliverable | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Solidity(native and WASM) Smart Contract: Basic Read & Write | We will create some solidity smart contracts which expose simple methods for writing to storage and reading from on-chain storage. |
| 2. | Adapt the benchmarking framework | We will adapt the benchmarking framework so it can handle WASM and native solidity code benchmarking. |
Gautam Dhameja told us about the Grants program and encouraged us to apply to the same.
