[6] Automated Storage Entry Footprint & Rent Cost Calculator

[ayomideadeniran]

Description

Soroban rent and footprint costs are major operational expenses. Crucible needs a precise estimator calculating live Stroop storage fees across Persistent, Instance, and Temporary storage lifetimes.

// Location: contracts/crucible/src/sim.rs // Production requirement: Automated Storage Entry Footprint & Rent Cost Calculator

Impact

Contracts deployed without rent budgeting can suffer premature archival or excessive transaction fees.

Required Fix

• Track exact byte sizes of keys and values added to instance/persistent/temporary storage during simulated transactions.
• Compute dynamic rent cost according to Soroban network configuration parameters.
• Provide automated recommendations when Temporary storage is more economical than Persistent storage.

Reference

Identified during Crucible Core Testing Framework production readiness audit.
