L1 verification cost refers to the expense associated with confirming transactions or proofs directly on the primary layer-1 blockchain. This cost typically involves gas fees paid to network validators for processing and storing data on the main chain. It represents a direct measure of the computational and storage resources consumed for ensuring the integrity of on-chain operations. This fee structure directly influences network economics.
Context
L1 verification cost is a significant topic in news about blockchain scalability and the economics of decentralized applications. High costs on layer-1 networks often drive the development and adoption of layer-2 scaling solutions, which aim to reduce these expenses by offloading computations. Discussions frequently involve proposals for fee market adjustments and protocol upgrades designed to optimize resource utilization and lower transaction fees on the base layer.
