I think one of the easiest things to overlook in smart contract infrastructure is the computation itself.

A contract can theoretically perform complex operations. But a blockchain can't simply allow computation to continue without a defined limit.

Something has to answer a basic question??

How much computation is this transaction allowed to consume?
Dusk's Rusk VM approaches this through gas accounting. The whitepaper describes Rusk as a Web Assembly-based VM with cryptographic functions including zero-knowledge proof verification, while the execution environment tracks gas limits and gas used as part of the state transition.

I find this more interesting than just saying Dusk has its own VM.
The real problem is resource control.

A blockchain needs to support powerful computation without allowing one execution to consume unlimited network resources.

So, gas isn't just a number attached to a transaction.

It becomes part of the mechanism that puts a practical boundary around computation.

And that's something every programmable blockchain eventually has to solve??
