💰 Gas Compensation System

How It Works

The gas compensation system ensures relayer sustainability by applying a configurable multiplier to gas costs:

Base Calculation: estimatedGas × currentGasPrice
Apply Multiplier: baseCost × gasCompensationMultiplier
Result: Compensated gas cost ensuring profitability

Configuration

# Default 10% markup for relayer compensation
GAS_COMPENSATION_MULTIPLIER=1.2

# Examples:
# GAS_COMPENSATION_MULTIPLIER=1.05  # 5% markup
# GAS_COMPENSATION_MULTIPLIER=1.25  # 15% markup

Benefits

Sustainable Operations: Ensures relayer profitability
Covers Operational Costs: Infrastructure and maintenance
Market Responsive: Adjustable based on conditions
Transparent: Clear compensation methodology
