Gas Consumption Model

The gas consumption model for smart contract execution in RuneVM is designed to ensure efficient use of computational resources. It quantifies the computational effort required to execute a transaction, thereby determining the associated cost.

The total gas consumption for a transaction is given by:

$G=∑ i=1 n ​ (g i ​ ⋅c i ​ )$

where $G$ represents the total gas consumption, $gi$ are the gas costs, and $ci$ are the computational complexities of each transaction. This model ensures that transactions are priced according to their computational requirements, incentivizing efficient use of resources and avoiding unnecessary computational expenditure.
