Optimizing Variable Initialization to Save Gas

[mingbaile]

Hi, We are a research group specializing in programming languages and software engineering. We recently studied inconsistent state update vulnerabilities in Solidity and are developing a tool to detect such issues.

After testing our prototype on your repository, we found some state variables that might either be missing updates or could be optimized for gas efficiency. Would you find our results useful?

These modifiers save gas by avoiding storage (SLOAD costs ~100 gas) and embedding values directly into bytecode. The key difference:
constant: Set at compile time, no runtime cost.
immutable: Assigned in the constructor, slightly more gas usage.
(More details)

Potential Optimizations: In your repository, the following state variables might need attention. If they are meant to remain unchanged, using constant or immutable can optimize gas:

WAVAX.sol
State variable: name, symbol, decimals

string public name     = "Wrapped AVAX";
string public symbol   = "WAVAX";
uint8  public decimals = 18;

Thanks for your time! Does this modification seem appropriate to you?
