Definition ∞ A dynamic fee tier is a system where transaction costs or service charges adjust automatically based on prevailing network conditions or market demand. This mechanism typically modifies fees in real-time, often increasing them during periods of high congestion and decreasing them when network usage is low. Its purpose is to optimize network resource allocation and incentivize efficient transaction processing. This approach helps manage network load and ensures fair pricing.
Context ∞ Dynamic fee tiers are a prominent feature in many blockchain networks, particularly those experiencing variable transaction loads, such as Ethereum. The effectiveness of these tiers directly impacts user experience and network accessibility. A key discussion point involves refining algorithms to provide predictable yet responsive fee structures, balancing network stability with user cost considerations.
