Fee Market Design

Ault uses an EIP-1559-style fee market designed to provide predictable pricing while automatically adjusting to network demand. Each transaction pays a dynamically adjusted base fee, which increases during congestion and decreases when activity subsides. This mechanism reduces fee volatility and improves estimation reliability for users and developers. Users may also include an optional priority tip to incentivize faster inclusion by validators. Unlike Ethereum, Ault does not burn the base fee. Instead, fees are redistributed within the network to reinforce validator incentives and support community governance.

​
Fee Distribution

Transaction fees are split at the protocol level:
  • 90% → validators and delegators
  • 10% → DAO Community Pool
The validator portion strengthens network security by directly rewarding those who validate the chain. The DAO allocation provides a continuous funding source for ecosystem growth, grants, liquidity programs, and other community-approved initiatives.
