Ton network commission
Transaction Fee:
Description: This is the fee charged for each transaction conducted on the TON network, whether sending tokens, creating a contract, or interacting with an existing contract.
Amount: The fee depends on the complexity and volume of the transaction. For example, sending a simple transfer may require a minimal fee, whereas complex smart contract transactions may require more computation and thus a higher fee.
Dynamic variation: Fees may vary depending on network utilisation and the current price of gas (units of computing power).
Computation fee (gas fees):
Description: This fee is charged for performing computations on the network related to the operation of smart contracts. In TON, as in other smart contract-enabled blockchains, transactions within contracts require computational resources, for which gas is charged.
Size: The size of the computation fee depends on the complexity of the task that the smart contract performs. For example, the more operations a smart contract performs, the higher the fee will be.
Storage fees:
Description: The TON network may also charge a fee for storing data on the blockchain. Smart contracts and other data that is stored permanently requires resources to maintain, so storage fees are charged separately.
Amount: This fee depends on the amount of data and how long it is stored.
Message fees:
Description: In a TON, smart contracts can exchange messages among themselves. A fee may also be charged for transmitting such messages within the network.
Size: Message fees depend on the size and complexity of the messages.
Features of commissions in TON
Efficiency and low fees: The TON network is known for its high bandwidth and efficiency, which keeps fees relatively low even under high network utilisation.
Dynamic Adaptation: TON's fees adapt according to network conditions and demand for computing power, allowing for optimal resource allocation and maintaining blockchain stability.
Transparency: Users can estimate fees in advance, allowing them to accurately plan the costs of transactions or smart contracts.
