Solana

here's the program (contract) code: https://github.com/jc4p/mutual-match-frame/blob/main/onchain-program/programs/onchain-program/src/lib.rs

It cost 1.42809184 SOL exactly to deploy

can anyone help me understand why it costs ~$200 to deploy a relatively simple contract on solana?

I assumed it would cost comparable amounts to base (eg cents) and feel like my mental model needs updating

what is the difference in architecture that drives this?
