Computation

📄️ Computation Cost

Since Kaia aims to maintain 1-second block time, the execution time of transactions has to be managed. Here are three approaches to achieve that:

📄️ Execution Model

This page describes the execution model, the data structures, and the life cycle of Kaia smart contracts.

📄️ Kaia Smart Contracts

The Kaia Blockchain leverages the power of smart contracts, recognizing their importance in driving innovation and functionality within the ecosystem. Here's a closer look at the concept of smart contracts within the Kaia Blockchain:

📄️ Precompiled Contracts

Kaia provides several useful precompiled contracts, none of which are state-changing.

📄️ Debug tracing

Debug tracing is a feature that extracts additional information while executing a transaction in a VM. As the name suggests, it is mainly used for debbuging transaction failure or gas spending breakdown. Since VMs are deterministic, once a transaction is confirmed, the same trace will be produced no matter when it is traced. In other words, you can debug a confirmed transaction after the fact, making it a useful tool for dApp development.
