FRS is NOT required for gas. Users pay gas in stablecoins. Always. The token captures economic value through staking, governance, and protocol-level buybacks.
On every other chain, token appreciation makes gas expensive. On Ferros, gas is denominated in stablecoins. Token appreciation benefits holders without punishing users.
Gas denominated in stablecoins. Fixed pricing per lane. No formula connects the token price to gas cost. They are orthogonal.
| Transaction Type | Ethereum L1 | Solana | Base (L2) | Arbitrum (L2) | Ferros |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simple transfer | $0.50-$1.50 | $0.001-$0.005 | $0.001-$0.005 | $0.003-$0.01 | $0.001 B |
| ERC-20 transfer | $1.50-$5.00 | $0.001-$0.01 | $0.002-$0.01 | $0.005-$0.02 | $0.002 A |
| DEX swap | $3.00-$15.00 | $0.005-$0.03 | $0.005-$0.03 | $0.01-$0.05 | $0.01 C |
| Complex DeFi | $5.00-$50+ | $0.01-$0.10 | $0.01-$0.05 | $0.02-$0.15 | $0.05 D |
All prices are ranges under normal conditions and include typical priority fees. During congestion, Ethereum/Solana/L2 prices spike 10-100x. Ferros prices are fixed and denominated in stablecoins — max 4x surge at >80% capacity.
Every transaction fee is split at the protocol level. 40/50/10. Real yield from real revenue — not inflation.
Treasury auto-buy: 10% of all fees purchases FRS on the open market. Governance decides whether to hold, deploy, or burn. Creates consistent buy pressure without inflationary rewards.
Lock longer, earn more. Self-correcting yield floor — if FRS price drops, APY rises. All yields paid in stablecoins.
100,000 FRS minimum. Validators earn 40% of all fees in stablecoins. Real yield from real revenue. 7 genesis validators expanding to 19 steady state.
Foundation-led at launch, transitioning to full DAO by Year 5. Governance weight = FRS staked × commitment depth. Core team has zero governance weight until Year 3.
Unstaked tokens have zero voting power. Max-depth stakers have 2x governance weight. Fee split adjustments require 67%+ supermajority with 30-day timelock.
Validator supermajority (>67%) can veto critical changes with 72-hour review window. Treasury disbursements >$100K require validator co-signer.
Quarterly transparency reports required. No unilateral treasury access. Detailed governance mechanics being finalized ahead of mainnet.
Vote on fee parameters, treasury allocation, template approval, and protocol upgrades. On-chain execution — votes are binding.
100,000 FRS minimum. Earn 40% of all fees in stablecoins. Real yield from real revenue — not inflation.
Any amount. Earn 50% of fees in stablecoins, weighted by commitment depth. Lock longer, earn more. Self-correcting yield floor — if FRS price drops, APY rises.
Stake FRS for higher throughput limits, lower latency, and gasless transaction quotas for agents.
A platform where useful technology is the point — and the economics reward everyone who makes it work.
