+# Optimizing Transactions
+
+When submitting transactions using the SDK, the following actions are being performed:
+
+- Fetching chain information to compute transaction data
+- Retrieving the gas price for cost estimation
+- Simulating the transaction to obtain missing or estimating transaction data
+- Fetching funds for the transaction
+
+Depending on how you are performing the transaction, all of the above may have been abstracted away underneath a single function call that is performing multiple calls to the network to retrieve necessary information. Which gives the appearance of slowness for users interacting with your application.
+
+This process can be illustrated by the following diagram:
+
+![Pre-optimization Tx Process](../../public/tx-optimization-before.png)
+
+This can be mitigated by optimistically building the transaction before your user submits the transaction. Pre-preparation of the transaction can improve the perceived speed of transactions by **~2x**.
+
+The process now looks like the following:
+
+![Post-optimization Tx Process](../../public/tx-optimization-after.png)
+
+Check out the following guides on implementing optimistic transaction building:
+
+- [Optimistic Transactions](./optimistic-transactions.md)
+- [Optimistic Contract Calls](./optimistic-contract-calls.md)
+- [Optimistic Predicates](./optimistic-predicates.md)

+# Optimistic Contract Calls
+
+Imagine we have an application that allows a user to interact with a counter contract.
+
+On the frontend, we'd have a button that would allow the user to submit a transaction that increments a counter.
+
+```tsx
+<Button onClick={onIncrementPressed}>Increment</Button>
+```
+
+This would likely have the following handler function:
+
+<<< @./snippets/optimistic-contract-calls-before.ts#main{ts:line-numbers}
+
+Under the hood, `call` is making multiple calls to the network to both simulate and fund the transaction, then submitting it. This may give the appearance of slowness for users interacting with your application.
+
+This process can be optimized by optimistically building the contract transaction on page load, like so:
+
+<<< @./snippets/optimistic-contract-calls-after.ts#main{ts:line-numbers}
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Any change to the underlying transaction will require re-estimation and re-funding of the transaction. Otherwise the transaction could increase in size and therefore cost, causing the transaction to fail.
