Catch Unexpected Gas Usage for Contract Deployments Across Chains

Jan 28, 2026 • 2 days ago

Deploy contracts across chains with confidence by analyzing gas usage, identifying unusual consumption patterns, and iterating quickly on Virtual TestNets.

Identify unusual gas consumption patterns

Prevent contract deployment failures by analyzing cumulative gas consumption across contract deployments. Examine aggregate gas usage of your contracts and wallets to identify unusually high consumption that would otherwise cause your contract deployments to fail.

Catch differences in gas consumption for different scripts, strategies, and contract deployments on multiple chains.

Simulate and send transactions more easily

Experiment more quickly by simulating and sending transactions on Virtual TestNets with just a few clicks. Navigate between the Simulate and Send tabs to iterate on Virtual TestNets without unintended changes to the environment states.

First, validate bug fixes or DeFi actions, such as depositing ETH to Aave, by simulating the transaction. If the simulation has the expected outcome and executes successfully, send the transaction to a Virtual TestNet and continue your testing flow.

Run transactions on top of a relevant block state

Debug and iterate on top of existing transactions with the required block state replicated on Virtual TestNets. Click the Run on New VNet button on a relevant transaction to spin up a Virtual TestNet with the up-to-date state of a particular block.

For instance, if your contracts interact with liquidity pools or have a slippage component, spin up a Virtual TestNet in the middle of block execution to test on the correct state.

Secure multichain deployments on Virtual TestNets

Build and test more quickly and without blind spots by validating your deployments on Virtual TestNets. Head over to the Tenderly Dashboard to fork any of the supported chains instantly and test with up-to-date onchain data.
