The benchmark setup is built from low-level primitives offered by py-evm.
- Relies solely on the virtual machine and an in-memory state database. Mining and blockchain components have been removed.
- It provides the tools to make tests against different forks trivial.
- Utils to generate deterministic keypairs, manipulate storage and more.
- Effective gas estimation using binary search.
