Intrinsic Gas

Gas is a sum of IntrinsicGas and ExecutionGas. In here, we would focus on how IntrinsicGas is organized.

Overview

A transaction's intrinsicGas can be calculated by adding up the next four factors.


IntrinsicGasCost = KeyCreationGas + KeyValidationGas + PayloadGas + TxTypedGas

  • PayloadGas is calculated based on the size of the data field in the tx.
  • KeyCreationGas is calculated when the transaction registers new keys. Only applicable in accountUpdate transaction.
  • KeyValidationGas is calculated based on the number of signatures.
  • TxTypedGas is defined based on the transaction types.

Before we get into the detail, keep in mind that not all key types apply the keyGases (KeyCreationGas and KeyValidationGas).

RoleBasedDepending on key types in the role

KeyCreationGas

The KeyCreationGas is calculated as (number of registering keys) x TxAccountCreationGasPerKey (20000).
Please keep in mind that Public key type always has only one registering key, so the gas would be always 20000.

KeyValidationGas

KeyValidationGas is calculated as (number of signatures - 1) x TxValidationGasPerKey(15000).
Please keep in mind that Public key type always has only one signature key, so the gas would be always zero.

A Kaia transaction can also have a feePayer, so the total KeyValidationGas is like this.


KeyValidationGas = (KeyValidationGas for a sender) + (KeyValidationGas for a feePayer)

PayloadGas

Basically, PayloadGas is charged with number_of_bytes_of_tx_input x TxDataGas (100).

In the case of a transaction creating contract, an additional charge of number_of_words_of_initcode x InitCodeWordGas (2) is applied. It is effective since Shanghai hardfork.

TxTypedGas

There are three types of transactions in klaytn; base, feeDelegated, and feeDelegatedWithFeeRatio.

For example,

  • TxTypeValueTransfer is the base type of the valueTransaction transaction.
  • TxTypeFeeDelegatedValueTransfer is a feeDelegated type of the valueTransfer transaction.
  • TxTypeFeeDelegatedValueTransferWithRatio is a feeDelegatedWithRatio type of the valueTransfer transaction.

This is important when calculating TxTypedGas:

  • First, check the TxType is feeDelegated or feeDelegatedWithFeeRatio.
    • If the TxType is feeDelegated, add TxGasFeeDelegated(10000) to TxTypedGas
    • If the TxType is feeDelegatedWithFeeRatio, add TxGasFeeDelegatedWithRatio (15000) to TxTypedGas
  • Second, check the transaction creates contract or not.
    • If the transaction creates contract, add TxGasContractCreation (53000) to TxTypedGas.
    • Otherwise, add TxGas (21000) to TxTypedGas.

For example,

  • If it's legacyTransaction and creates contract, the TxTypedGas would be 0 + TxGasContractCreation(53000).
  • If it's TxTypeFeeDelegatedValueTransfer, the TxTypedGas would be TxGasFeeDelegated(10000) + TxGas (21000)
  • If it's TxTypeFeeDelegatedSmartContractDeployWithRatio, the TxTypedGas would be TxGasFeeDelegatedWithRatio (15000) + TxGasContractCreation (53000)
