A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

Does anyone have experience with testing very high-volume minting for an ERC-721 contract?

For example, 10M+ mints? 

I have a basic test in my local environment, but it's throwing an EVM Revert error before I reach the theoretical max. 

Wondering if there's a better way to simulate this many mints.

you're limited by gas per block, check the gas usage on 1 mint and you can calculate the max.

i already have checks in place for the block gas limit

what i want to understand is how the gas usage for write txns change over time as the internal data structures grow in size

eg if a function needs to perform a lookup from an array, everything might seem fine for the first 1M mints, but blow up at higher numbers

you have an odd process there, assuming the use of mapping instead of an actual array is not possible.

Mapping will be more expensive the best choice is to use an array of
