Fees

How do network fees on ISME Chain work?

Every transaction has two costs: an L2 (execution) fee and an L1 (security) fee. The L2 fee is the cost to execute your transaction on the L2, and the L1 fee is the estimated cost to publish the transaction on the L1. Typically, the L1 security fee is higher than the L2 execution fee. The L1 fee will vary depending on the amount of transactions on the L1. If the timing of your transaction is flexible, you can save costs by submitting transactions during periods of lower gas on the L1. Similarly, the L2 fee can increase and decrease depending on the number of transactions submitted to it. This adjustment mechanism is implemented the same way as the L1.
