Off-Chain Execution Environment for Testing & Profiling of Smart Contracts

Bernhard Scholz, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Sydney, presents an off-chain execution environment for scalable testing and profiling of smart contracts. By running transactions in isolation and in parallel using substates instead of the full world state, the approach cut the space needed to replay the first 9 million blocks from about 700 GB to about 285 GB and raised single-threaded throughput from about 620 to about 2,800 transactions per second. Uses include hard-fork testing, contract metrics and fuzzing.
