PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Performance Optimization Framework
A systematic, four-phase approach to diagnosing and resolving DEX performance bottlenecks, delivering measurable improvements in throughput, latency, and user experience.
01
Architecture & Code Audit
Comprehensive review of your smart contract architecture, AMM logic, and off-chain components. We identify gas inefficiencies, concurrency issues, and architectural anti-patterns limiting scalability.
Deliverable: Detailed audit report with prioritized recommendations.
40-60%
Typical Gas Reduction
2-3 days
Initial Assessment
02
Gas & Storage Optimization
Refactor contract logic using Solidity best practices: state variable packing, function selector optimization, and efficient data structures. We implement custom assembly for critical paths and optimize storage patterns.
Deliverable: Optimized, audited contract codebase.

03
Indexing & Data Pipeline Tuning
Design and implement high-performance subgraph or custom indexer solutions. We optimize query patterns, implement caching layers (Redis), and ensure sub-second data availability for frontends and analytics.
Deliverable: Production-ready indexing infrastructure with monitoring.

Load Testing & Benchmarking
Simulate real-world trading volume and user concurrency using custom load testing frameworks. We benchmark against leading DEXs (Uniswap V3, Curve) to validate performance improvements and establish baseline KPIs.
Deliverable: Performance benchmark report and load test suite.

STRUCTURED DELIVERY
Our 4-Week Optimization Sprint
A fixed-scope, fixed-timeline engagement designed to deliver measurable improvements to your DEX's core performance metrics. We focus on execution, not exploration.
01
Week 1: Architecture & Bottleneck Analysis
We conduct a deep technical audit of your DEX's smart contracts, mempool strategy, and node infrastructure to identify the primary bottlenecks affecting throughput, latency, and gas costs.
