Output Format#

solidity

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/ReentrancyGuard.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";

contract SmartContract is ReentrancyGuard, Ownable {
    // State variables

    // Events
    event ActionPerformed(address indexed user, uint256 value);

    // Modifiers
    modifier validAmount(uint256 amount) {
        require(amount > 0, "Invalid amount");
        _;
    }

    // Functions
    function performAction(uint256 amount)
        external
        nonReentrant
        validAmount(amount)
    {
        // Implementation
        emit ActionPerformed(msg.sender, amount);
    }
}

// Deployment script
async function deploy() {
    const Contract = await ethers.getContractFactory("SmartContract");
    const contract = await Contract.deploy();
    await contract.deployed();

    console.log("Contract deployed to:", contract.address);
}

Gas Optimization Tips#

• Pack struct variables
• Use mappings over arrays when possible
• Cache storage variables
• Use events for data storage
• Implement batch operations
