benchmarks

To install dependencies:

bun install

To run:

# to benchmark Kakarot using Madara, run:
bun run benchmark-madara

# to benchmark Kakarot using Katana, run:
bun run benchmark-katana

Note: The benchmarks rely on a INTER_TRANSACTION_MS_DELAY environment variable. It is aimed at spacing transactions between one another. This achieves a two-fold goal:

• Refrain from filling the mempool too fast, i.e. reach maximum capacity of the mempool/backlog before the end of the benchmark.
• allow clients to order the transactions with regards to their nonce, as for now, only one wallet fires transactions, and nonces must be sequential.

This implies that one must calibrate a good value for INTER_TRANSACTION_MS_DELAY.
