Definition ∞ A resource pricing mechanism establishes the cost for using various computational and storage resources within a blockchain network. This includes fees for transaction execution, data storage, and bandwidth, often dynamically adjusted based on network congestion or demand. Its purpose is to allocate scarce network resources efficiently, prevent spam, and compensate network participants for their contributions.
Context ∞ Resource pricing mechanisms are fundamental to the economic stability and scalability of all public blockchains, from Layer 1s to Layer 2s. The current discussion involves refining these mechanisms to provide more predictable costs for users while ensuring fair compensation for validators or sequencers. Observing how different protocols adapt their pricing models to handle increasing transaction volumes and diverse application requirements is a key area of interest.
