Describe your changes and provide context
Consuming gas only after performing all operations could lead to exploits where a lot of work is done but no gas is consumed (or gas provided is insufficient). The correct practice should be to charge for gas before performing the work
Since we perform validation before other operations, it is not feasible to use a scaling gas multiplier. Instead, we can use a fixed gas cost (set as 1000000 to start with). This is currently roughly the amount we were going to be charging with the default 10x multiplier as well.
