Certified Blockchain Solutions Architect (CBSA) — Question 42

Which factor influences the gas cost to deploy a Smart Contact on the Ethereum blockchain?

Answer options

• A. None. Smart Contract deployment has a fixed gas cost
• B. The types of operations written in code within the Smart Contract
• C. The current Ethereum market conditions
• D. The total size of the complied Smart Contract measured in kilobytes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the gas cost for deploying a Smart Contract is influenced by the total size of the compiled contract, as larger contracts require more computational resources. Option A is incorrect since gas costs are not fixed; they vary based on several factors. Options B and C are also incorrect as they do not directly determine the gas cost for deployment.
