Gas Price Prediction

Use Difract's gas price prediction model to optimize transaction timing.

Gas Prediction Example

const prediction = await difract.gas.predict({
    network: "ethereum",
    timeframe: {
        start: "now",
        end: "+24h"
    },
    resolution: "15m",
    confidence: {
        level: 90,      // %
        range: true
    },
    factors: {
        historical: true,
        pending: true,
        network: true,
        mempool: true
    }
});

Transaction Batching

Optimize gas usage by batching multiple transactions together.

Transaction Batching Example

const batch = await difract.gas.batchTransactions({
    operations: [
        {
            type: "approval",
            token: "USDC",
            spender: "0x1234...5678"
        },
        {
            type: "swap",
            from: "USDC",
            to: "ETH",
            amount: "1000"
        },
        {
            type: "stake",
            protocol: "aave",
            asset: "ETH",
            amount: "all"
        }
    ],
    optimization: {
        mode: "aggressive",
        maxGas: 200,     // GWEI
        deadline: "1h",
        simulation: true
    },
    safety: {
        slippageCheck: true,
        estimateBuffer: 10,  // %
        revertProtection: true
    }
});

MEV Protection

Protect your transactions from MEV (Miner Extractable Value) attacks.

MEV Protection Example

const protection = await difract.gas.protectFromMEV({
    transaction: {
        type: "swap",
        from: "ETH",
        to: "USDC",
        amount: "10"
    },
    protection: {
        mode: "full",  // or "basic", "custom"
        methods: [
            "flashbots",
            "private_tx",
            "backrunning"
        ]
    },
    limits: {
        maxGas: 300,          // GWEI
        maxDelay: "2m",
        maxTipPercent: 90     // % of base fee
    },
    monitoring: {
        sandwichDetection: true,
        frontrunTracking: true,
        revertOnAttack: true
    }
});

Gas Cost Analysis

Analyze and optimize your gas costs across different operations.

Cost Analysis Example

const analysis = await difract.gas.analyzeCosts({
    portfolio: "portfolio_123",
    timeframe: "30d",
    breakdown: {
        byOperation: true,
        byNetwork: true,
        byProtocol: true,
        byAsset: true
    },
    metrics: {
        totalSpent: true,
        averageCost: true,
        savings: true,
        efficiency: true
    },
    optimization: {
        suggestions: true,
        potential: {
            batching: true,
            timing: true,
            routing: true
        }
    },
    reporting: {
        format: "detailed",
        charts: true,
        alerts: {
            threshold: 100,  // USD
            frequency: "daily"
        }
    }
});

Network-Specific Optimization

Optimize gas usage based on specific network characteristics.

Network Optimization Example

const networkOpt = await difract.gas.optimizeForNetwork({
    network: "ethereum",
    strategy: {
        type: "eip1559",
        settings: {
            maxFeePerGas: "auto",
            maxPriorityFee: {
                mode: "competitive",
                multiplier: 1.1
            }
        }
    },
    conditions: {
        baseFeeThreshold: 50,  // GWEI
        blockUtilization: 80,  // %
        waitForBlocks: 3
    },
    alternatives: {
        layer2: true,
        sidechain: true,
        threshold: {
            cost: 50,    // USD
            time: "10m"
        }
    }
});
