# Gas Fee & Transactions Speed
GAYA implements a dynamic gas fee mechanism inspired by Ethereum’s EIP-1559 to ensure affordability and network efficiency.
1. Dynamic Pricing: Gas fees are recalculated per block based on network congestion, ensuring efficient resource allocation during peak periods.
2. Base Fee + Tip Model: Fees are calculated as:
Total Gas Fee = (Base Fee+Tip) × Gas Used
* Base Fee: Dynamically adjusted per block based on demand.
* Tip: Optional additional fee users can include to prioritize their transactions.
Example Calculation:
* Base Fee = 0.004 GayaCoins
* Tip = 0.001 GayaCoins
* Gas Used = 21,000
Total Gas Fee = (0.004 + 0.001) × 21,000 = 0.105 GayaCoins
\
GAYA’s blockchain architecture is designed for high throughput and low latency, ensuring optimal performance under varying network loads.
1. Transactions Per Second (TPS): GAYA supports up to 3,500 TPS in its initial deployment, with the capability to scale further using sharding and modular upgrades.
2. Consensus Finality: Blocks achieve finality in 3-5 seconds, minimizing latency and providing users with rapid transaction confirmations.
3. Optimized Throughput: Advanced techniques like adaptive block sizing and parallel transaction processing enable sustained performance even during high demand.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://gaya-blockchain.gitbook.io/gaya-blockchain/gayacoin/gas-fee-and-transactions-speed.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
