Batch Execution Standard (Multicall)

Abstract

This LP defines a standard for batch execution of multiple contract calls within a single transaction on the Lux Network. Based on the Multicall pattern, it enables gas-efficient operations, atomic execution of complex workflows, and improved user experience by reducing the number of transactions required for multi-step operations.

Motivation

Batch execution standards enable:

1. Gas Efficiency: Single transaction for multiple operations
2. Atomicity: All-or-nothing execution of related calls
3. User Experience: One approval for complex operations
4. Time Efficiency: Reduced waiting for multiple transactions
5. Composability: Building complex DeFi strategies

Specification

Rationale

Single Transaction Benefits

Batching calls provides:

• Reduced gas costs (one base transaction fee)
• Atomic execution (all succeed or all fail)
• Simplified user interaction
• Reduced network congestion

Flexible Execution Modes

Different modes serve different needs:

• Strict mode for critical operations
• Lenient mode for best-effort execution
• Conditional mode for complex logic
• Timed mode for deadline-sensitive operations

Value Handling

Supporting native token transfers enables:

• Complex DeFi operations
• Multi-step swaps with payments
• Fee collection in single transaction

Backwards Compatibility

This standard is compatible with:

• All existing smart contracts
• Standard call patterns
• Existing DeFi protocols
• Wallet infrastructure

}

Security Considerations

Reentrancy Protection

While multicall itself doesn't need reentrancy protection, called contracts should implement it:

modifier nonReentrant() {
    require(!_reentrancyGuard, "Reentrant call");
    _reentrancyGuard = true;
    _;
    _reentrancyGuard = false;
}

Gas Limits

Prevent out-of-gas attacks:

require(gasleft() > calls.length * 50000, "Insufficient gas");

Value Handling

Ensure correct value distribution:

uint256 totalValue = 0;
for (uint256 i = 0; i < calls.length; i++) {
    totalValue += calls[i].value;
}
require(msg.value >= totalValue, "Insufficient value");

Call Validation

Validate target addresses:

require(calls[i].target != address(0), "Invalid target");
require(calls[i].target.code.length > 0, "Target not contract");
