+## Storage Optimization
+
+### Variable Packing
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Unpacked: Uses 4 slots (4 * 32 = 128 bytes)
+contract Unpacked {
+    uint256 a;     // Slot 0 (32 bytes)
+    uint128 b;     // Slot 1 (16 bytes, but takes full slot)
+    uint128 c;     // Slot 2 (16 bytes, but takes full slot)
+    uint64 d;      // Slot 3 (8 bytes, but takes full slot)
+}
+
+// ✅ Packed: Uses 2 slots
+contract Packed {
+    uint256 a;     // Slot 0 (32 bytes) - can't pack with smaller
+    uint128 b;     // Slot 1 (16 bytes)
+    uint128 c;     // Slot 1 (16 bytes) - same slot as b
+    uint64 d;      // Slot 2 (8 bytes) - could add more here
+}
+
+// ✅ Even better: Consider access patterns
+contract OptimalPacking {
+    // Frequently accessed together
+    uint128 public balance;    // Slot 0
+    uint64 public lastUpdate;  // Slot 0
+    uint64 public rewardRate;  // Slot 0
+
+    // Less frequently accessed
+    address public owner;      // Slot 1 (20 bytes)
+    bool public paused;        // Slot 1 (1 byte)
+    uint8 public feePercent;   // Slot 1 (1 byte)
+}
+```
+
+### Struct Packing
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Unpacked struct: 4 slots
+struct UserBad {
+    uint256 balance;      // Slot 0
+    address wallet;       // Slot 1 (20 bytes)
+    uint256 lastClaim;    // Slot 2
+    bool isActive;        // Slot 3
+}
+
+// ✅ Packed struct: 2 slots
+struct UserGood {
+    uint256 balance;      // Slot 0
+    address wallet;       // Slot 1 (20 bytes)
+    uint48 lastClaim;     // Slot 1 (6 bytes) - timestamps fit in uint48
+    bool isActive;        // Slot 1 (1 byte)
+    // 5 bytes remaining in Slot 1
+}
+
+// ✅ Maximum packing: 1 slot (if balance allows)
+struct UserCompact {
+    uint128 balance;      // 16 bytes
+    address wallet;       // 20 bytes - DOESN'T FIT!
+}
+// address is 20 bytes, so uint128 + address = 36 bytes > 32 bytes
+// Can't pack these together
+```
+
+### Storage Access Patterns
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Multiple cold reads
+function bad(uint256 id) external view returns (uint256) {
+    return users[id].balance    // Cold SLOAD: 2100 gas
+         + users[id].rewards    // Cold SLOAD: 2100 gas
+         + users[id].bonus;     // Cold SLOAD: 2100 gas
+    // Total: 6300 gas
+}
+
+// ✅ Cache in memory
+function good(uint256 id) external view returns (uint256) {
+    User storage user = users[id];  // Reference, no read
+    return user.balance    // Cold SLOAD: 2100 gas
+         + user.rewards    // Warm SLOAD: 100 gas
+         + user.bonus;     // Warm SLOAD: 100 gas
+    // Total: 2300 gas
+}
+
+// ✅ Even better if reading full struct
+function better(uint256 id) external view returns (uint256) {
+    User memory user = users[id];  // One read for packed data
+    return user.balance + user.rewards + user.bonus;
+}
+```
+
+### Immutable and Constant
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Storage variable for deployment-time constant
+contract Bad {
+    address public owner;  // SLOAD every access: 2100 gas cold
+
+    constructor() {
+        owner = msg.sender;
+    }
+}
+
+// ✅ Immutable: Stored in bytecode
+contract Good {
+    address public immutable owner;  // No SLOAD: ~3 gas
+
+    constructor() {
+        owner = msg.sender;
+    }
+}
+
+// ✅ Constant: Compile-time value
+contract Better {
+    uint256 public constant MAX_SUPPLY = 1_000_000 ether;  // Inlined
+    bytes32 public constant ADMIN_ROLE = keccak256("ADMIN");  // Computed at compile
+}
+```
+
+## Calldata vs Memory
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Memory: Copies data
+function processArray(uint256[] memory data) external {
+    // 'data' is copied from calldata to memory
+    // Cost: 3 gas per word to copy + memory expansion
+}
+
+// ✅ Calldata: Direct access
+function processArray(uint256[] calldata data) external {
+    // 'data' is read directly from calldata
+    // Cost: 3 gas per access, no copy
+}
+
+// When to use memory:
+// - Need to modify the array
+// - Internal/private functions (calldata not available)
+// - Returning data that was computed
+
+// ❌ Unnecessary memory for strings
+function getName() external view returns (string memory) {
+    return name;  // Copies from storage to memory
+}
+
+// If name is constant, consider bytes32:
+bytes32 public constant NAME = "MyToken";
+```
+
+## Loop Optimization
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Unoptimized loop
+function sumBad(uint256[] calldata values) external pure returns (uint256) {
+    uint256 total = 0;
+    for (uint256 i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {  // .length read each iteration
+        total += values[i];
+    }
+    return total;
+}
+
+// ✅ Cached length
+function sumGood(uint256[] calldata values) external pure returns (uint256) {
+    uint256 total = 0;
+    uint256 len = values.length;  // Cache length
+    for (uint256 i = 0; i < len; i++) {
+        total += values[i];
+    }
+    return total;
+}
+
+// ✅ Unchecked increment (Solidity 0.8+)
+function sumBetter(uint256[] calldata values) external pure returns (uint256) {
+    uint256 total = 0;
+    uint256 len = values.length;
+    for (uint256 i = 0; i < len;) {
+        total += values[i];
+        unchecked { ++i; }  // Save ~80 gas per iteration
+    }
+    return total;
+}
+
+// ✅ Pre-increment is marginally cheaper
+unchecked { ++i; }  // Slightly cheaper than
+unchecked { i++; }
+```
+
+## Comparison Optimizations
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Checking equality with boolean
+if (isActive == true) { }
+if (isActive == false) { }
+
+// ✅ Direct boolean check
+if (isActive) { }
+if (!isActive) { }
+
+// ❌ Checking non-zero
+if (amount > 0) { }
+
+// ✅ Non-zero check (same gas, but conventional)
+if (amount != 0) { }
+
+// For signed integers, > 0 and != 0 are different!
+// int256 can be negative, so choose based on intent
+```
+
+## Short-Circuit Evaluation
+
+```solidity
+// ✅ Put cheaper/more likely to fail checks first
+function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) external {
+    // Cheaper checks first
+    require(to != address(0), "Zero address");           // Comparison: ~3 gas
+    require(amount > 0, "Zero amount");                  // Comparison: ~3 gas
+    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount, "Balance"); // SLOAD: 2100 gas
+}
+
+// ✅ Short-circuit with &&
+if (isActive && balances[user] > threshold) {
+    // If !isActive, balances[user] is never read
+}
+```
+
+## Batching Operations
+
+```solidity
+// ❌ Multiple transactions
+function claim(uint256 id) external { }
+// User calls: claim(1), claim(2), claim(3)
+// 3 transactions = 3 * 21000 base fee
+
+// ✅ Batch function
+function claimMultiple(uint256[] calldata ids) external {
+    uint256 len = ids.length;
+    for (uint256 i = 0; i < len;) {
+        _claim(ids[i]);
+        unchecked { ++i; }
+    }
+}
+// 1 transaction = 1 * 21000 base fee + marginal per-claim cost
+```
+
+## Event Optimization
+
+```solidity
+// Events cost:
+// - 375 gas base
+// - 375 gas per indexed topic
+// - 8 gas per byte of data
+
+// ❌ Large event with unnecessary data
+event TransferDetailed(
+    address indexed from,
+    address indexed to,
+    uint256 amount,
+    uint256 timestamp,      // block.timestamp is available
+    uint256 blockNumber,    // block.number is available
+    bytes32 txHash          // tx.hash is available
+);
+
+// ✅ Minimal event
+event Transfer(
+    address indexed from,
+    address indexed to,
+    uint256 amount
+);
+// Timestamp, block, txHash are available from the transaction receipt
+```
+
+## Assembly Optimizations
+
+```solidity
+// Use only when significant gas savings justify complexity
+
+// ✅ Efficient address zero check
+function isZeroAddress(address addr) internal pure returns (bool) {
+    assembly {
+        // iszero is a single opcode
+        mstore(0x00, iszero(addr))
+        return(0x00, 0x20)
+    }
+}
+
+// ✅ Efficient array sum
+function sumAssembly(uint256[] calldata arr) external pure returns (uint256 total) {
+    assembly {
+        let len := arr.length
+        let ptr := arr.offset
+        let end := add(ptr, shl(5, len))  // ptr + len * 32
+
+        for { } lt(ptr, end) { ptr := add(ptr, 0x20) } {
+            total := add(total, calldataload(ptr))
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// ⚠️ Assembly risks:
+// - Bypasses safety checks
+// - Harder to audit
+// - Can introduce subtle bugs
+// - Only use for hot paths with measured impact
+```
+
+## Mapping vs Array
+
+```solidity
+// Mappings: O(1) access, no iteration, no length
+mapping(address => uint256) public balances;
+
+// Arrays: O(n) search, can iterate, has length
+address[] public users;
+
+// ❌ Searching array
+function hasUser(address user) public view returns (bool) {
+    for (uint i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
+        if (users[i] == user) return true;  // O(n) gas
+    }
+    return false;
+}
+
+// ✅ Use mapping for lookups
+mapping(address => bool) public isUser;
+
+function hasUser(address user) public view returns (bool) {
+    return isUser[user];  // O(1) gas
+}
+
+// ✅ Hybrid for when you need both
+mapping(address => uint256) public userIndex;  // address => array index
+address[] public users;                         // for iteration
+```
+
+## Gas Profiling
+
+### Foundry Gas Report
+
+```bash
+# Generate gas report
+forge test --gas-report
+
+# Snapshot for comparison
+forge snapshot
+
+# Compare with previous
+forge snapshot --check
+```
+
+### Manual Gas Measurement
+
+```solidity
+contract GasTest is Test {
+    function test_GasComparison() public {
+        uint256 gasBefore = gasleft();
+
+        // Operation to measure
+        target.someFunction();
+
+        uint256 gasUsed = gasBefore - gasleft();
+        console.log("Gas used:", gasUsed);
+    }
+}
+```
+
