A Dataset that can be run for testing purpose. Each Dataset represents a complete scenario where several ClientDataset are run concurrently against one or more HydraNodes. A dataset can optionally have a title and description which will be used to report results.

Generate a Dataset which does not grow the per-client UTXO set over time. This version provided faucet key owns funds on the initial funds of the devnet (See availableInitialFunds and 'genesis-shelley.json'). Then for a given number of clients a number of transactions are generated.

Generate a Dataset that grows the head's UTxO set for the first half of the tx sequence and contracts it again for the second half. Phase 1 reuses the same per-tx pattern as generateGrowingUTxODataset (1-in -> 2-out via mkSimpleTx with reduced output value). Phase 2 issues 2-in -> 1-out merges that consume two previously created outputs and produce a single combined output. End-state has a single UTxO again.

Generate a Dataset that grows each client's UTxO set to a target size ("plateau") with 1-in 10-out split transactions, then holds that size with full-value self-transfers (1-in 1-out, no change output). While the plateau holds, every snapshot carries the accumulator cost of the full UTxO set, making this the reference workload for large-UTxO head performance.

The head-level UTxO size is roughly clients * target and must stay below the 4095 accumulator element limit.

Build a zero-fee 1-in N-out transaction that splits off nChunks outputs of chunkValue each and returns the remainder as change. Used by the Plateau generator to grow a client's UTxO set inside the head.

Build a zero-fee 2-in 1-out transaction that merges two of a sender's own outputs into one. Used by the Mixed generator to contract the UTxO set.

Generate a Dataset from an already running network by querying available funds of the well-known 'faucet.sk' and assuming the hydra-nodes we connect to have fuel available. Then for a given number of clients a number of transactions are generated.
