With the evolving complexity of software systems, interest in software performance analysis has increasingly grown in recent years. Its main objective is to optimize software applications by analyzing its structure, behavior and dependencies, from design to code. Blockchain technologies, also known as distributed ledger technologies, have gained a lot of popularity in the recent years. Particularly the Ethereum blockchain, which apart from having its own cryptocurrency, is programmable. Meaning that developers can use it to create new decentralized applications which rely on smart contracts. Smart contracts are immutable computer programs that run deterministically in the context of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. The main purpose of this report is to explain the process of development of a tool to assist Ethereum developers to visually analyze static and dynamic behaviour of their smart contracts to improve their performance through optimizing gas usage.
