Abstract
In the blockchain-based, distributed computing platform Ethereum, programs
called smart contracts are compiled to bytecode and executed on the Ethereum
Virtual Machine (EVM). Executing EVM bytecode is subject to monetary fees---a
clear optimization target. Our aim is to superoptimize EVM bytecode by encoding
the operational semantics of EVM instructions as SMT formulas and leveraging a
constraint solver to automatically find cheaper bytecode. We implement this
approach in our EVM Bytecode SuperOptimizer ebso and perform two large scale
evaluations on real-world data sets.
