@yihuang bullish. Have you taken a look at Erigon's storage structure? https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/blob/devel/docs/programmers_guide/db_walkthrough.MD

@yihuang yup, agreed. Also should enable a way to tie the statedb in nicer on the cosmos side. Which would make handling precompile reverts 100000x easier. This is a big...

Was thinking more execution. More relevant for the modular evm PR. Do we think it’s worth adding this to ethermint as it stands now? Getting erigon like structure into the...

@yihuang yeah SMT would help a ton, do you have an ethermint branch with it running?

well well well https://github.com/evmos/ethermint/issues/94

I think there is definitely benefit in storing eth in separate tries. I also had this idea around having a hot cache of frequently accessed contracts. Would be easy to...

@yihuang Verkle is a bit beyond my knowledge, but if you think its implementable then definitely interested on helping. https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/06/18/verkle.html

Could you elaborate further? If you are doing SnapshotRevert for cosmos modules that aren't `x/evm` the cache size should be manageable. Then keep the current StateDB for just `x/evm`.

Seems as if https://github.com/evmos/ethermint/issues/1227 would be helpful here.
