Transaction Batching

Combine multiple operations into a single transaction

Potential Savings
40-70%
Difficulty
Easy
Implementation
Use multicall contracts...
Examples:
  • Multi-send: Transfer to multiple recipients in one TX
  • Approve + Transfer in single call
  • Batch NFT mints or claims
  • Bundled DeFi operations (swap + stake)
How to Implement:

Use multicall contracts or protocols with native batching support

📦 Batching Savings Calculator

See how much you save by batching multiple transactions. Each individual transaction has fixed overhead that gets amortized across the batch.

1 (no batch)20 (large batch)
Individual Transactions
$1.00

1 transactions × $1.00 each

Fixed overhead: $0.30
Execution cost: $0.70
Batched Transaction
$0.80

Single transaction with 1 operations

Fixed overhead: $0.30 (once)
Execution cost: $0.50
Total Savings
$0.20
Efficiency Gain
20%

💡 By batching 1 operations, you pay the fixed overhead only once instead of 1 times!

⚡ Quick Wins Checklist

Implement these easy optimizations for immediate gas savings:

Use Multicall Contracts

Batch multiple calls in DeFi protocols that support it (Uniswap, Aave, etc.)

Optimize Token Approvals

Set reasonable allowances to avoid multiple approval transactions

Time Non-Urgent TXs

Schedule transfers and claims for weekends or late-night UTC hours

Use Gas Optimized Contracts

Choose protocols using modern libraries like Solady or Solmate

Batch NFT Operations

Mint, transfer, or list multiple NFTs in a single transaction

Monitor L1 Gas Prices

Use trackers like Etherscan or Blocknative to find optimal timing
