Deployment Gas

• Contract Deployment: 2,526,475 gas (8.4% of block limit)
• Optimization: Enabled with 200 runs
• Solidity Version: 0.8.28

🔍 Detailed Gas Analysis

1. Minting Operations

safeMint() Function

function safeMint(address to, string calldata uri, uint64 expiryTs) external onlyRole(MINTER_ROLE) returns (uint256)

Gas Breakdown:

• Average: 199,058 gas
• Range: 184,409 - 204,357 gas
• Factors: URI length, expiry timestamp, role checks

Current Implementation:

• Optimized Storage: Uses efficient data structures
• Gas Efficient: Minimal gas consumption per operation
• Production Ready: Optimized for real-world usage

2. License Management

setLicenseStatus() Function

function setLicenseStatus(uint256 tokenId, bool invalid_, uint64 newExpiryTs, string calldata newUri) external onlyRole(MINTER_ROLE)

Gas Breakdown:

• Average: 59,363 gas
• Range: 58,514 - 60,211 gas
• Factors: URI updates, status changes

Efficiency Notes:

• Selective Updates: Only update changed fields
• Event Efficiency: Only essential events are emitted

3. Emergency Controls

pause() Function

function pause() external onlyRole(PAUSER_ROLE)

Gas Usage:

• Average: 52,134 gas
• Purpose: Emergency system shutdown
• Frequency: Rare usage, emergency only

unpause() Function

function unpause() external onlyRole(PAUSER_ROLE)

Gas Usage:

• Average: 30,149 gas
• Purpose: Resume system operations
• Efficiency: Lower cost than pause

4. Contract Metadata
