leading-zeros

Generate an ethereum address with leading zeros. Why? Addresses with more zeros save gas if the address is in the calldata. See here. Each 0 byte is 4 gas while each non-zero byte is 16 bytes. This small saving is extremely useful especially in an MEV extraction context

Usage

# Build package
go build

# Run the program
./leading-zeros -zeros 4
