Special thanks to Justin Drake, Georgios Konstantopoulos, Andrej Karpathy, Michael Gao, Tarun Chitra and various Flashbots contributors for feedback and review. If you analyze any resource-intensive computation being done in the modern world in even a medium amount of detail, one feature that you will find again and again is that the computation can be broken up into two parts: These two forms of computation are best handled in different ways: the former, with an architecture that may have lower efficiency but needs to have very high generality, and the latter, with an architecture that may have lower generality, but needs to have very high efficiency. To start off, let us look under the hood of the environment I am most familiar with: the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Here is the geth debug trace of a recent Ethereum transaction that I did: updating the IPFS hash of my blog on ENS. The transaction consumes a total of 46924 gas, which can be categorized in this way: EVM trace of an E
