Description
🧐 Motivation
Currently, the Votes.test.js file handles various voting modes, but it does not cover edge cases involving gas cost optimizations for voting delegation when many accounts are involved. In high-load scenarios, especially when a large number of votes or delegation transactions occur in a single block, the gas usage could be significant.
📝 Details
The test suite should include cases that simulate a high volume of accounts delegating votes in a short period of time. These cases would help assess the contract’s performance under stress and provide data on gas efficiency.
Suggested enhancements:
- Add tests with 100+ accounts performing delegation operations.
- Measure gas consumption for these scenarios, comparing standard delegation vs. cross-delegation.
- Include tests for scenarios where accounts attempt to delegate multiple times within the same block.
By incorporating these changes, we can better understand the contract’s behavior in more realistic, high-traffic situations and potentially identify gas optimization opportunities.

Research direction
Start in test/governance/utils/Votes.test.js and review the existing voting-mode and delegation cases. Add high-volume delegation scenarios with 100+ accounts, compare standard and cross-delegation gas usage, and cover repeated delegation attempts within one block; the tests should report measurable gas results for each scenario.
