DSL in this context is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language, e.g. you do not perform the shift but returns something like Shift(byteArray,8) so in the frontend the shift will be performed.

| Jan 21, 2022 at 19:06 | comment | added | Ismael♦ | It sounds like a bad idea shifting byte arrays. If necessary I'd do it off-chain or use some kind of DSL. | |
| Jan 21, 2022 at 18:51 | comment | added | ClementWalter | it's a custom encoding of data for on-chain NFTs, I didn't mean to advertise here but you can find out more on our page chaindreamers.xyz/on-chain-storage | |
| Jan 21, 2022 at 17:15 | comment | added | Ismael♦ | Why do you have to shift a bytes array? What are the possible values for the shift length? It has a bad smell shifting a bytes array of arbitrary length. | |

I am considering this actually, split my bytes into chunks of bytes32
