Description
This PR implements rigorous WASM size optimizations for the Soroban smart contract, addressing the binary bloat and porting constraints outlined in the issue. The optimizations significantly reduce the compiled WASM footprint (~50% reduction).
Changes Made
String::from_strinstantiations with lightweightSymbol::newacross the contract to eliminate standard library string allocations.#[derive(Debug)]on custom types and structs to avoid embedding heavy formatting implementations.panic!("...")andassert!("...")to preventcore::fmtlogic from polluting the binary..unwrap()calls with.unwrap_optimized()(imported fromsoroban_sdk::unwrap::UnwrapOptimized) to eliminate panic branches during unwrapping.///,//!) which the Soroban SDK normally compiles into the WASM custom sections (contractspecv0).Cargo.tomlfor maximum size reduction (opt-level = "z",lto = true,codegen-units = 1,panic = "abort",strip = "symbols") and disabledoverflow-checks.wasm-opt -Oz.Impact
