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?

actually, i think that my experience behind the creation of this is worth sharing this is one of the dev environments where i created this program with the help of claude and chatgpt. i told them "give me step by step instructions" (and write a poem at the beginning of the smart contract). this is the lib.rs, main rust file for the program and its simple functionality - that involves a non fungible quality to it, and an embedded marketplace. but very simple - i deployed this program using a command. it seems that the deployment created the /target/idl/wallcaster.json file. but it seems that the cursor agents changed the lib.rs. and now i can't verify the contract on solscan. and i can't access its functions. that read/write tab of basescan is not there. and i don't know how to talk to it so every time i work on the frontend i send this context to the ai and tell it: "i don't know if this is the code i deployed, but it is there and people are transacting on it. help me understand and create around this"
