multiversx-cache-patterns

To reduce MultiversX gas costs, implement in-memory caching patterns that load state into memory once and commit changes atomically on scope exit using Rust's Drop trait. This avoids repeated on-chain storage operations per transaction.

The best way to cache storage values is using a write-back pattern that initializes a StorageCache struct at the beginning of an endpoint, performs mutations in-memory, and automatically commits to storage when the struct is dropped.

Yes, read-only caching is designed for MultiversX view functions and read-heavy operations where state changes are not required. This pattern prevents unnecessary storage reads by keeping accessed values in memory.

The Drop trait optimizes gas by automatically triggering the cache commit logic when the StorageCache instance goes out of scope. This batches all in-memory mutations into a single atomic storage write at the end of function execution.

Use write-back caching in MultiversX DeFi protocols when a single transaction requires multiple storage reads and writes. This approach makes intermediate operations free by handling them in-memory, charging gas only for initial load and final commit.

Yes, MultiversX caching patterns support storing computed values directly within the cache struct. This prevents repeated computations and redundant storage reads by keeping derived data alongside the primary cached state.
