Resource Optimization

Reducing fees and budget consumption.

Soroban has strict resource limits. Optimizing your contract ensures it remains cheap and reliable.

Finding Hotspots

Use prism profile <hash> to identify the most expensive host functions in your transaction.

Common Hotspots

• Storage Reads: Frequent get_ledger_entry calls can quickly consume the budget.
• Deep Invocations: Cross-contract calls add stack depth and context overhead.
• WASM Size: Large contract binaries increase the CPU cost of the initial load.

Verification

After optimizing, use prism whatif to re-simulate the transaction with your new contract version to verify the budget reduction before redeploying.
