Definition ∞ A dynamic fee model is a system where transaction costs adjust automatically based on network conditions, such as congestion or demand. This approach aims to optimize network efficiency and ensure timely transaction processing by incentivizing users to pay higher fees during peak times for faster inclusion. Conversely, fees decrease when network activity is low.
Context ∞ Many blockchain networks employ dynamic fee models to manage transaction throughput and prevent network spam. News often reports on fluctuations in these fees, which can significantly impact user experience and the economic viability of certain decentralized applications. Ongoing protocol upgrades frequently address improvements to these models to enhance predictability and fairness.
