Gas Optimization Tips

For Creators

Deploy on Base or Arbitrum first (~50-80% cheaper than Ethereum)
Deploy during lower network congestion (reduces base gas price)
Consider batching launches (if deploying multiple tokens)

For LPs

Use ETH with lower gas price (trade off speed vs cost)
Batch governance votes (combine with other activities)
Withdraw in batches (if possible with multiple launches)

For Platforms

Bundle deposits (if aggregating LP funds)
Execute launches during quiet periods
Batch governance executions

Gas Limits

Per-Transaction Limits

Network	Block Gas Limit	Typical Tx	RevvFi Overhead
Base	30M	150k	~0.5%
Arbitrum	100M	1M+	`<0.1%`
Ethereum	30M	200k	~2%

All RevvFi operations fit well within limits.
