Etherlink-Specific Notes

Key Characteristics

1. Native Currency: XTZ (Tez)

2. EIP-1559 Support: Yes - uses max_fee_per_gas. Priority fees (max_priority_fee_per_gas) are ignored since the sequencer uses first-come-first-served ordering.

3. WebSockets: Supported when running your own node with --ws flag. Public RPC nodes don't expose WebSockets.

4. Rate Limits: Public RPC limited to 1000 requests/minute

Fee Structure

Etherlink fees include:

• Execution fee - varies based on network throughput (minimum 1 gwei)

• Inclusion fee - covers data availability on Tezos L1

See Fee structure for details.
