Understanding Gas Fee Recoveries with Blink

Introduction to Ethereum Gas Fees

Ethereum transactions necessitate the payment of gas fees, which are divided into two primary components:

1. Base Fee: A mandatory charge determined by the network, fluctuating with demand to regulate transaction inclusion in a block.

2. Priority Fee: An optional extra payment to validators / builders as an incentive for faster transaction processing.

How Blink Recovers Priority Fees

Blink currently processes 5% of Ethereum transactions & works closely with block builders responsible for including transactions in Ethereum blocks. Leveraging this scale along with our platform along the transaction lifecycle enables Blink to recover a portion of the "Priority Fees" without impacting latency.
