#dusk $DUSK @Dusk A small detail about Dusk gas fees that actually made me think đ
Thereâs a small detail in how Dusk prices gas that I think says more about the protocolâs philosophy than it first appears. Fees are paid in DUSK but priced in a smaller unit called LUX, you set both a gas limit and a gas price, and the actual fee is simply gas used multiplied by that price⊠unused gas isnât charged, which sounds fair enough, but if a transaction runs out of gas and reverts, you still pay for whatever gas was consumed before it failed đ§.
Thatâs standard practice on most chains, but itâs a quiet reminder that âit didnât workâ and âit cost nothingâ arenât the same thing⊠computation happened either way, and someone has to pay for the work the network already did, even when the outcome wasnât what you wanted đ
@DuskFoundation should failed transactions really cost the same as successful ones, or does that model unfairly punish honest mistakes over actual bad actors?
