Development costs

Introduction

In a blockchain system, developing smart contracts based on any public chain system involves the development cost of resource expenditure. For example, deploying/calling smart contracts on the network, performing energy conversion, pledge/delegation and other operations all require a certain cost. Different blockchain network development costs are different. The cost of developing smart contracts on the PlatON network is similar to that of developing on Ethereum. This manual will analyze and compare in an intuitive format, allowing users to have a clearer understanding of development costs.

Summary

This article will use a table to compare different development costs of small, medium and large contracts, and compare PlatON with Ethereum. In terms of contracts, a simple SET/GET function contract is used as a small test contract. The medium-sized contract example will use an open source(eth-tweet) contract The large contract is a smart contract that complies with the PRC20 standard.
