Performance Evaluation of ERC-20 and ERC-721 Blockchain Protocols Through an Optimization Framework

Abstract

This Utilize an efficiency-oriented procedure this research compares the achievement of two important Ethereum token standards: ERC-20 and ERC-721. Examining these processes under various operating settings while applying improving performance plan of action is the main goal. The research uses a administer Ethereum test net environment to apply maximizing techniques like batch processing, gas-efficient code, and meta data squeezing in addition to implementing token standards. Measured and examined are important performance indicators such as gas consumption, execution time, transaction output, and storage efficiency. According to the results, ERC-20 tokens are better ordered in routine and high-volume transactions because of their straight forward logic, but ERC-721 tokens take more resources at first because of their single identifiers and metadata needful although they manifest noticeable gains after optimization. The research highlight the theme of choosing a settlement according to the demands of the application, supporting ERC-20 for exchangeable asset management and ERC-721 for use cases involving non-exchangeable assets. Besides, it provide developers and blockchain architects practical advice for creating segregated apps (dApps) that are scalable, economical, and result-oriented. Due to its straighter forward and harmonious token logic, ERC-20 performs better than ERC-721 in terms of gas ability, transaction throughput, and storage utilization, according to the contrast analysis. Due to specialized token IDs and metadata, ERC-721, which is deliberated for unique assets, has increased gas expenses and storage on high. However, ERC-721 speed is greatly boosted by improving methods including batch processing and metadata compression. If presentation improving are used, ERC-721 is more looked right on for handling non- fungible assets like NFTs, but ERC-20 is more appropriate for high-frequency, exchangeable transactions like payments and DeFi.
