[PERF] Build Single-Transaction Bulk Storage Reset Utility in Yul

[mijinummi]

Labels: medium-difficulty, yul, storage, gasguard
Difficulty: Medium
Module: contracts/storage/

---

🧠 Concept

Create an assembly helper that clears contiguous ranges of storage slots within a single execution loop to claim maximum gas refunds post-EIP-3529.

⚠️ Problem

Post-Cancun/EIP-3529 EVM rules reduce self-destruct refunds, requiring explicit zeroing of storage slots (SSTORE with value 0) to claim storage refunds.

📁 Implementation Scope

• contracts/storage/BulkSlotCleaner.sol
• test/storage/BulkSlotCleaner.test.ts

🛠️ Requirements

1. Accept start slot key and total slot count parameters.
2. Iterate through contiguous storage slots in Yul assembly and execute sstore(slot, 0).

🎯 Acceptance Criteria

• Clears target storage slot ranges in an $O(n)$ assembly loop.
• Maximize available gas refund credits for cleanup operations.
