Fee Calculation

TriggerGas (TG) is the standard unit for calculating computational and resource costs in the TriggerX platform. It is the basis for determining task fees, operator rewards, and developer/operator points. This document explains the formulas, parameters, and processes for these calculations.

TriggerGas Allocation

TriggerGas is calculated based on the following components:

1. Execution Time

• Rate: 2 TG per second

• Formula:

$$\text{Execution Time TG} = \text{Execution Time (seconds)} \times 2$$

2. Memory Usage

• Rate: 1 TG per 128 MB

• Formula:

$$\text{Memory Usage TG} = \frac{\text{Memory Usage (MB)}}{128} \times 1$$

3. Static Complexity

• Rate: 1 TG per 1024 KB

• Formula:

$${Static Complexity TG} = \frac{\text{Static Complexity Size (KB)}}{1024} \times 1$$

4. Transaction Simulation

• Rate: 1 TG per task

• Formula:

$$\text{Transaction Simulation TG} = 1$$

5. Fixed Cost

• Rate: 1 TG per task

• Formula:

$$\text{Fixed Cost TG}=1$$

Total TriggerGas Formula

The total TriggerGas (TG) for a task is calculated as:

$$\text{Total TG} = (\text{Computation Cost}) \times (\text{Network Scaling Factors}) + 2$$

where,

Computation Cost:

$(\text{Execution Time} \times 2) + \left( \frac{\text{Memory Usage (MB)}}{128} \times 1 \right) + \left( \frac{\text{Static Complexity (KB)}}{1024} \times 1 \right)$

Network Scaling Factors:

$$1 + \text{Count of Validator Nodes}$$

Overhead Cost:

$$+2$$

Fee Calculation

Task fees are based on the total TriggerGas consumed and TriggerGas's unit price.

Formula

$$\text{Fee (ETH)} = \text{Total TG} \times \text{Price per TG}$$

• Price per TG: 0.0001 ETH

Note:

• The ETH multiplier value will be determined after the testnet launch; here, Price Per TG is used as an example.

• Users will receive TG on the testnet without needing ETH.

• Instead of receiving ETH directly, operators will earn points during the testnet phase.
