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.

maybe @horsefacts.eth?

here is what I'm running into:

what real world condition are you trying to simulate with this?

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

what is your local testnet software? anvil? looks like that is running out of memory and artificially limiting this. there is a --memory-limit argument that might help

Been there, done that! Use Truffle's Forge and its `migrate` command 🤔
