Fees

How do network fees on Matchain work?

Each Matchain transaction involves two costs: an L2 (execution) fee and an L1 (security) fee. The L2 fee covers the cost of executing the transaction on the L2, while 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 fluctuates based on the transaction volume on the L1. If your transaction timing is flexible, you can reduce costs by submitting transactions during periods of lower gas usage on the L1, such as weekends.

Similarly, the L2 fee adjusts according to the number of transactions being processed on the L2. This adjustment mechanism functions similarly to that of the L1.
