Hyena •

A data packing library.

What is Hyena?

Hyena is a library that is an alternative to abi.encode and abi.encodePacked that can result in smaller bytes.

It WON'T beat abi.encode or abi.encodePacked in terms of gas consumption but will in the size of the output. A reduction of up to 50% can be obtained.

It serves as educational material.

Warning

Due to how the internal "map" works, you can only pack 41 32-bytes values.

It should be noted that unpacking the payload produces an array whose elements order is in reverse w.r.t the elements that were added.

Installation

To install with Foundry:

forge install exp-table/hyena

Usage

bytes memory payload = Hyena.init();
payload = Hyena.crush(payload, uint(100));
payload = Hyena.crush(payload, uint(2**256 - 1));
uint256[] memory outputs = Hyena.digest(payload);
