Gas Optimizations

Caching the length in for loops

1. if it is a storage array, this is an extra sload operation (100 additional extra gas (EIP-2929 2) for each iteration except for the first),
2. if it is a memory array, this is an extra mload operation (3 additional gas for each iteration except for the first),
3. if it is a calldata array, this is an extra calldataload operation (3 additional gas for each iteration except for the first)

        for (uint256 i = 0; i < _assets.length; i++) {
            uint256 balance = IERC1155(_assets[i]).balanceOf(address(this),  _assetIDs[i]);
            IERC1155(_assets[i]).safeTransferFrom(address(this), _to, _assetIDs[i], balance, "0");
        }

Can be optimized to

        uint256 assetsLength = assets.length;
        for (uint256 i = 0; i < assetsLength ; i++) {
            uint256 balance = IERC1155(_assets[i]).balanceOf(address(this),  _assetIDs[i]);
            IERC1155(_assets[i]).safeTransferFrom(address(this), _to, _assetIDs[i], balance, "0");
        }

The increment in for loop postcondition can be made unchecked

Gas savings: roughly speaking this can save 30-40 gas per loop iteration. For lengthy loops, this can be significant!

Apply this to all part in your code with for loops. For example

https://github.com/code-423n4/2022-06-nibbl/blob/8c3dbd6adf350f35c58b31723d42117765644110/contracts/NibblVault.sol#L547-L550

        for (uint256 i = 0; i < _assets.length; i++) {
            uint256 balance = IERC1155(_assets[i]).balanceOf(address(this),  _assetIDs[i]);
            IERC1155(_assets[i]).safeTransferFrom(address(this), _to, _assetIDs[i], balance, "0");
        }

Can be optimized to

        for (uint256 i = 0; i < _assets.length; ) {
            uint256 balance = IERC1155(_assets[i]).balanceOf(address(this),  _assetIDs[i]);
            IERC1155(_assets[i]).safeTransferFrom(address(this), _to, _assetIDs[i], balance, "0");

            unchecked { i++; }
        }

Consider using custom errors instead of revert strings

Solidity 0.8.4 introduced custom errors. They are more gas efficient than revert strings, when it comes to deployment cost as well as runtime cost when the revert condition is met. Use custom errors instead of revert strings for gas savings.

Any require statement in your code can be replaced with custom error for example:

require(msg.sender == bidder, "NibblVault: Only winner");

Can be replaced with

// declare error before contract declaration
error OnlyWinner();

if (msg.sender != bidder) revert OnlyWinner();
