Hello there,
I am working on a project that involves deploying smart contracts on the Lisk platform; and I am seeking some advice on optimizing performance.
I am interested in understanding the best practices for writing and deploying efficient smart contracts within the Lisk ecosystem.
What are some common strategies for optimizing smart contract code to reduce execution costs and improve performance on Lisk? 
Are there any specific coding patterns or libraries that are known to be particularly effective?
What tools and methodologies do you recommend for thoroughly testing and debugging smart contracts before deployment? Are there any particular challenges or pitfalls I should be aware of when working with Lisks smart contract environment?
How can I manage and minimize gas usage for my contracts? Any tips on how to handle transactions and state changes efficiently to keep costs down?
What are the best practices for ensuring the security of smart contracts on Lisk? Are there any common vulnerabilities specific to the Lisk platform that I should be aware of?
Also, I have gone through this post; https://lisk.com/blog/posts/everything-you-need-to-know-for-the-lsk-migration-to-lisk-l2 which definitely helped me out a lot.
What are some effective deployment strategies for scaling and maintaining smart contracts once they are live? Any advice on managing updates and handling contract interactions post-deployment?
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
