Say I have a contract Foo with method bar that has a gas cost per call of x, now say I choose to implement a proxy contract Proxy for interacting with Foo to allow for upgradability to FooV2 if the need arises, what additional gas cost is incurred for invoking Foo.bar() via the Proxy contract as opposed to directly calling it? I'm assuming it should be a fixed static additional gas independent of the method called.

  • Based on my understanding this OpenZeppelin forum discussion it varies based on the proxy pattern from [~1500, ~3000], though I'm not sure if the overhead is independent of the implementation contract method, etc. forum.openzeppelin.com/t/…

  • It is not fixed the input data has to be copied into memory and the same with the returned data.

There's no static answer for this. It depends on storage layout as well as overall layout of proxy contract. But it is in range of few hundred to few thousand more. In your case, should be few hundred.
