Topics of exploration/general:

• Gas estimation
• Explanation of Arbitrum's gas situation

Gas estimation

This comes down to two primary components:

• gas price (most if not all web3 libraries provide this out of the box)
• estimation of contract call (via data payload)

There is plenty of traditional research being done in the space as well, on both gas estimation and optimization

• GASOL

cryptools's Issues

Add more tools

Looks like this is a bit empty right now, should probably add some tools here
