description	Run the X Layer "adventure" benchmark tool (ERC20 / native / io / fib / create stress tests on an Optimism L2 using 20k accounts). Use when the user asks to run adventure, benchmark X Layer, or run erc20-bench / native-bench / io-bench / fib-bench / create-bench.

Adventure — X Layer Benchmark Tool

Adventure is a stress-testing tool for X Layer (Optimism L2). It uses ~20,000 accounts to drive concurrent ERC20 / native / io / fib / create workloads against a node and measure performance and stability.

0. Adventure directory

The adventure project directory defaults to tools/adventure under the current repository root (i.e. <repo-root>/tools/adventure). No configuration file is needed — resolve the repo root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel and use $REPO_ROOT/tools/adventure as the working directory for all commands below.

1. Commands

All commands must be executed from the adventure directory (cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/tools/adventure" && ...).

ERC20 stress test

make erc20
# equivalent to:
adventure erc20-init 10000ETH -f ./testdata/config.json
adventure erc20-bench -f ./testdata/config.json --contract 0xContractAddress

Native token stress test

make native
# equivalent to:
adventure native-init 10000ETH -f ./testdata/config.json
adventure native-bench -f ./testdata/config.json

IO bench

make io
# equivalent to:
adventure simulator-init 10000ETH -f ./testdata/config.json
adventure io-bench -f ./testdata/config.json

Fib bench

make fib
# equivalent to:
adventure simulator-init 10000ETH -f ./testdata/config.json
adventure fib-bench -f ./testdata/config.json

Create bench

make create
# equivalent to:
adventure native-init 10000ETH -f ./testdata/config.json
adventure create-bench -f ./testdata/config.json

Preconditions to remind the user about

• RPC node reachable (default http://127.0.0.1:8123).
• testdata/config.json exists and is tuned for the run.
• testdata/accounts/accounts-20000.txt (20,000 accounts) is present as default, but may change if account number change.
• senderPrivateKey in testdata/config.json has enough balance to fund init.

2. Configuration file (testdata/config.json)

Editable parameters:

{
  "rpc": ["http://127.0.0.1:8123"],
  "accounts": 20000,
  "senderPrivateKey": "0x...",
  "concurrency": 20,
  "mempoolPauseThreshold": 50000,
  "targetTPS": 0,
  "maxBatchSize": 100,
  "gasPriceGwei": 100,
  "saveTxHashes": false,
  "simulatorParams": {
    "simulatorConfig": {
      "load_accounts": 12,
      "update_accounts": 5,
      "create_accounts": 0,
      "load_storage": 49,
      "update_storage": 9,
      "delete_storage": 0,
      "create_storage": 2,
      "fib": 100
    }
  }
}

Top-level fields

• rpc — RPC endpoint URLs (list; transactions are distributed across them).
• accounts — number of benchmark accounts used as both senders and receivers. On first run, testdata/accounts/accounts-<N>.txt is auto-generated with this many private keys and reused on subsequent runs.
• senderPrivateKey — funds contract deployment and token distribution during *-init commands.
• concurrency — number of concurrent senders.
• mempoolPauseThreshold — pause sending when mempool exceeds this size.
• targetTPS — target transactions per second; 0 means no rate limit.
• maxBatchSize — maximum transactions per batch (default 100).
• gasPriceGwei — gas price in Gwei.
• saveTxHashes — when true, writes tx hashes to ./txhashes.log.

simulatorParams.simulatorConfig (used by io-bench / fib-bench / create-bench)

Parameters passed to the on-chain simulator contract to shape each transaction's workload:

• load_accounts — account loads per tx (reads of existing accounts).
• update_accounts — account updates per tx.
• create_accounts — new accounts created per tx.
• load_storage — storage slot reads per tx.
• update_storage — storage slot updates per tx.
• delete_storage — storage slot deletions per tx.
• create_storage — new storage slots written per tx.
• fib — Fibonacci iteration count; controls CPU/compute load per tx (used by fib-bench).

Treat senderPrivateKey as sensitive: never echo or commit it, mask when showing values from the config, and never send it off-machine.

3. Behavior

• If the user's request is ambiguous ("run adventure"), ask which workload (erc20 / native / io / fib / create) and whether they want the full make <target> flow or a specific step.
• Before running any make target, cd into <repo-root>/tools/adventure.
• Do not modify testdata/config.json unless the user asks for a specific change.
• Stream output so the user can watch benchmark progress.
