Omitting assigning a default-zero type variable to zero, caching array's length, using ++i instead of i++ can save a good chunk of gas, especially if the loop is long running.

Impact Gas savings for protocol interactors

Recommendation Always use uint256 as the type for the index counter, because of EVM's 256 bit word size. Current implementation with uint8 uses more gas than if it used uint256. Don't initialise index counter variable to zero - zero is its default value and reinitialising to zero costs extra gas Use ++i instead of i++ in for loops (small gas saving) You can wrap the ++i in an unchecked block since you have a for loop end check expression anyway Example:

for (uint256 i; i < length;) { ... unchecked { ++i; } }```
