InkBench

A lightweight CLI tool for deploying and benchmarking PolkaVM smart contracts using pallet-revive.

This tool runs contracts in-memory without requiring a full blockchain node, making it ideal for:

• Quick contract testing and gas profiling
• Performance benchmarking of PolkaVM bytecode
• Development iteration on Solidity and ink! contracts compiled to PolkaVM

Build

cargo build --release

Usage

Deploy a contract

./target/release/revive-bench deploy \
  --code contracts/ink/flipper.polkavm \
  --ctor-hex ""

Output:

• address: deployed contract address (H160)
• code_hash: hash of the deployed code

Call a deployed contract

./target/release/revive-bench call \
  --addr <contract-address-hex> \
  --data-hex <calldata-hex> \
  --gas <optional-gas-limit>

Output:

• gas_consumed: actual gas used
• gas_required: minimum gas needed
• did_revert: whether the call reverted
• return_data: return value as hex

Benchmark contract calls

./target/release/revive-bench benchmark \
  --code contracts/ink/flipper.polkavm \
  --data-hex "633aa551" \
  --iterations 100

Output:

• avg_gas: average gas consumed per call
• avg_time_ns: average execution time in nanoseconds

Notes

• All hex inputs should omit the 0x prefix
• Contract addresses are H160 format (20 bytes)
• Default iterations for benchmark: 10
