EGP TOOL

Introduction

A Go tool to analyze and simulate the use of Effective Gas Price (EGP) feature. This tool has 2 main functionalities:

• Calculate real statistics based on the EGP logs stored in the State database.

• Simulate results that would have been obtained using different parameters for the EGP.

Running the tool

Help

Executing the following command line will display the help with the available parameters in the tool.

go run main.go help

NAME:
   main - Analyze stats for EGP

USAGE:
   main [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
   help, h  Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --from value           stats from L2 block onwards (default: 18446744073709551615)
   --to value             stats until L2 block (optional) (default: 18446744073709551615)
   --showerror            show transactions with EGP errors (default: false)
   --showloss             show transactions with losses (default: false)
   --showreprocess        show transactions reprocessed (default: false)
   --showdetail           show full detail record when showing error/loss/reprocess (default: false)
   --showalways           show always full detailed record (default: false)
   --cfg value, -c value  simulation configuration file
   --onlycfg              show only simulation results (default: false)
   --db value             DB connection string: "host=xxx port=xxx user=xxx dbname=xxx password=xxx"
   --help, -h             show help

Statistics

Running the tool without specifying a configuration file will only calculate the real EGP statistics from the state.transaction table.

The --db parameter specifying the DB connection string is required

go run main.go --db "host=X port=X user=X dbname=X password=X"

Simulation

Specifying the parameter --cfg with a configuration file, the tool will in addition to calculate real statistics, perform a simulation of the results with that config file parameters.

Config file parameters (e.g. config.toml)

# gas cost of 1 byte
ByteGasCost = 16

# gas cost of 1 byte zero
ZeroGasCost = 4

# L2 network profit factor
NetProfitFactor = 1.2

# L1 gas price factor
L1GasPriceFactor = 0.04

# L2 gas price suggester factor
L2GasPriceSugFactor = 0.30

# Max final deviation percentage
FinalDeviationPct = 10

# Min gas price allowed
MinGasPriceAllowed = 1000000000

# L2 gas price suggester factor pre EGP
L2GasPriceSugFactorPreEGP = 0.1

go run main.go --cfg cfg/config.toml --db "host=X port=X user=X dbname=X password=X"
