EVM to Solana Performance: Migration Readiness & Checklist — Forge College

Thinking about porting an Ethereum smart contract to Solana? Performance characteristics can make or break a migration — you need to know where runtime costs rise and how to prove operational readiness before you migrate.

What you'll learn
In this lesson you will learn how to read existing test output with a performance lens and map concrete failures to targeted mitigations. You'll identify common hotspots introduced when moving from an EVM runtime to Solana (repeated deserialization, CPI chains, large account allocations, and unnecessary serializations) and estimate relative costs using compute units and transaction size as metrics. The lesson shows concrete code-level optimizations (single mutable borrows, consolidated writes, batching or reducing CPIs, compact data layouts) and how those changes trade off complexity, rent, and safety. Finally you'll assemble a migration readiness checklist with measurable benchmarks, documented design decisions, and required risk signoffs reviewers need to greenlight migration.

Who this is for
Intermediate smart contract developers porting EVM contracts to Solana who are comfortable with Rust or Anchor-like patterns and familiar with basic Solana account and CPI concepts.

Key topics covered
- Spotting and quantifying hotspots from unit and integration test output
- Reducing repeated account deserialization and consolidating writes
- Measuring CPI overhead and strategies to reduce cross-program invocation chains
- Data layout, account sizing, and rent/serialization cost tradeoffs
- Benchmarks, documentation patterns, and a migration readiness checklist
