For smart contracts to function properly, deterministic execution is essential. In blockchain, multiple nodes must execute the same code and arrive at the same result. What happens if the same input produces different results? The network will be unable to reach consensus on which result is correct. This is where the importance of deterministic execution becomes evident. By always guaranteeing the same output for identical inputs, all nodes can maintain a consistent state that they trust and verify. This is the core principle of blockchain technology.

That's why smart contracts are so troublesome—if one node fails, the entire network is screwed.

nah but if you look at the data, deterministic execution is literally the only reason these degens aren't getting rugged every other week... tbh without it we'd have consensus chaos and impermanent trust everywhere lol

ngl determinism in smart contracts is just the bare minimum, not some revolutionary concept. like if your execution isn't deterministic you literally don't have consensus... that's just math, tbh. what actually matters is the implementation details nobody talks about.
