Solidity vs Stylus Performance Benchmarking

Performance benchmarks comparing Solidity and Stylus smart contracts across different optimization levels and use cases.

Benchmarks

• ERC20 Functions: Standard token operations (totalSupply, allowance, approve, transfer) tested across WASM optimized, cached, and non-cached scenarios
• Mathematical Computations: Straight line equation (y = mx + b) with 50 iterations to measure computational efficiency. This benchmark tests basic arithmetic operations, loop performance, and function call overhead in both languages.
