INTERCHAIN FEES

GAS MODEL

GAS MODEL OVERVIEW

Interchain operations rely on node operators to submit transactions across multiple chains, forming a critical component of blockchain consensus and execution. To ensure the sustainability of these operations, a robust Gas Model has been introduced.

Without such a model, node operators would bear the full upkeep costs of the blockchain, leading to financial losses and diminished incentives to maintain network operations. The Gas Model addresses this by covering operational gas costs for both master and partial chains while generating revenue for node operators and Crypto Factor.

Implemented as a lightweight add-on to the mesh layer, the Gas Model minimizes interference with the core blockchain consensus. It applies to transactions submitted by users, processed through on-chain operators such as the CFR bridge, ensuring a seamless and efficient integration into the Interchain ecosystem.

There are four main components of INTERCHAIN GAS:

1. MPC Consensus Fee: The amount of MPC required to execute the consensus for the submitted transaction in terms of the native coin of the chain where the transaction is submitted.

2. Transaction Execution Fee: The amount of native gas coins of the submitting chain required to cover all gas fees across all involved chains in the transaction execution.

3. CFR Gas Fee: The amount paid by the user to enter the partial chain mempool.

4. Crypto Factor Revenue Fee: The amount paid by user to Node Operators and Crypto Factor for running the chain.
