  The gas mart model is a pricing mechanism used in digital currencies, specifically in blockchain networks. It ensures that users pay a fair price for the computational resources they consume within the network. The model works by assigning a cost, measured in gas, to each computational operation performed on the blockchain. This cost is determined by factors such as the complexity of the operation and the current market conditions. Users need to pay an appropriate amount of gas to miners or validators for their computational resources to process their transactions or execute smart contracts. The gas price can vary based on factors like network congestion and market demand. The gas mart model helps incentivize network participants, prevent spam attacks, and maintain the overall efficiency and security of the network.
