Introduction to Illusio

What is Illusio?

Illusio is a powerful transaction simulator specifically designed for HyperEVM, enabling developers to test, analyze, and debug smart contract interactions before deploying them to the network. It provides detailed insights into transaction execution, state changes, and potential vulnerabilities.

Understanding HyperEVM

HyperEVM is a high-performance Ethereum Virtual Machine implementation optimized for complex DeFi operations. It provides:

  • High Throughput: Process more transactions per second
  • 🔄 Advanced State Management: Efficient handling of complex state changes
  • 🛡️ Enhanced Security: Additional safety checks during execution
  • 💰 Gas Optimization: Better gas usage estimations and optimizations

Key Features of Illusio

Transaction Simulation

  • 🔍 Deep Transaction Analysis: Step-by-step execution traces
  • 📊 State Change Tracking: Monitor all storage modifications
  • 🔄 Call Stack Visualization: View internal contract interactions
  • 🧮 Precise Gas Estimation: Accurate gas usage calculations

Smart Contract Analysis

  • 🔬 Contract Interaction Preview: Test contract interactions safely
  • 🚨 Error Detection: Identify potential issues before deployment
  • 📈 State Evolution: Track how contract state changes
  • 🎯 Function Testing: Test specific function calls with custom parameters

Development Tools

  • 🛠️ RESTful API: Integrate simulation capabilities into your tools
  • 📦 SDK Support: Easy integration with TypeScript/JavaScript applications
  • 🐳 Docker Support: Simple deployment with containerization
  • 📝 Detailed Logging: Comprehensive execution logs for debugging

How It Works

  1. Transaction Submission

    const tx = {
    to: "0xContractAddress",
    data: "0xEncodedData",
    value: "0",
    from: "0xUserAddress"
    };
  2. Simulation Processing

    • Transaction is executed in HyperEVM
    • All state changes are tracked
    • Events are captured
    • Gas usage is calculated
  3. Result Analysis

    const result = {
    success: true,
    gasUsed: "34562",
    stateChanges: [...],
    events: [...],
    trace: [...]
    };
