+# Aztec Gas and Fee Model
+
+The minimum fee per mana and its components are computed on L1 in
+`l1-contracts/src/core/libraries/rollup/FeeLib.sol`. This document describes the
+formulas, the oracle lag/lifetime mechanism, and the TypeScript types in this directory.
+
+## Mana
+
+Aztec uses **mana** as its unit of work (analogous to Ethereum gas). Transactions consume
+mana in two dimensions: **DA** (data availability) and **L2** (execution). The total fee
+is `gasUsed * feePerMana` summed across both dimensions.
+
+## Fee Components
+
+The minimum fee per mana has four components:
+
+### Sequencer Cost
+
+L1 cost to propose a checkpoint (calldata gas + blob data), amortized over `manaTarget`:
+
+```
+sequencerCost = ((L1_GAS_PER_CHECKPOINT_PROPOSED * baseFee)
+              + (BLOBS_PER_CHECKPOINT * BLOB_GAS_PER_BLOB * blobFee))
+              / manaTarget
+```
+
+### Prover Cost
+
+L1 cost to verify an epoch proof, amortized over epoch duration and `manaTarget`, plus a
+governance-set proving cost that compensates for off-chain proof generation:
+
+```
+proverCost = (L1_GAS_PER_EPOCH_VERIFIED * baseFee / epochDuration) / manaTarget
+           + provingCostPerMana
+```
+
+### Congestion Cost
+
+An exponential surcharge when the network is congested (inspired by EIP-1559; the
+implementation uses the `fakeExponential` Taylor series approximation from EIP-4844):
+
+```
+baseCost          = sequencerCost + proverCost
+congestionCost    = baseCost * congestionMultiplier / MINIMUM_CONGESTION_MULTIPLIER - baseCost
+```
+
+When there is no congestion the multiplier equals `MINIMUM_CONGESTION_MULTIPLIER` (1e9)
+and congestion cost is zero.
+
+### Congestion Multiplier
+
+```
+excessMana          = max(0, prevExcessMana + prevManaUsed - manaTarget)
+congestionMultiplier = fakeExponential(MINIMUM_CONGESTION_MULTIPLIER, excessMana, denominator)
+```
+
+Each additional `manaTarget` of excess mana increases the multiplier by ~12.5%.
+
+### Total
+
+```
+minFeePerMana = sequencerCost + proverCost + congestionCost
+```
+
+## L1 Gas Oracle: Lag and Lifetime
+
+The oracle feeds Ethereum's `baseFee` and `blobFee` into the fee model using a two-phase
+(`pre` / `post`) system that smooths out L1 fee volatility.
+
+- **LAG = 2 slots** — when new L1 fees are observed, they activate `LAG` slots later
+  (`slotOfChange = currentSlot + LAG`). This gives mempool transactions time to land
+  before fees change.
+- **LIFETIME = 5 slots** — after an oracle update, the next update is rejected until
+  `slotOfChange + (LIFETIME - LAG)` = 3 more slots have passed. This rate-limits how
+  frequently L1 fee data can change.
+
+Fee resolution at a given timestamp:
+
+```
+if slot < slotOfChange  →  use pre  (old fees)
+else                    →  use post (new fees)
+```
+
+**Net effect**: L1 fee changes reach L2 with a 2-slot delay and can update at most once
+every 5 slots.
+
+### Worked Example
+
+Suppose the oracle is updated at slot 10 with new L1 fees. Here is the timeline:
+
+```
+Slot  Oracle state          Active fees   Notes
+────  ────────────────────  ────────────  ──────────────────────────────────
+ 10   pre=A, post=B, soc=12   A           Update queued. slotOfChange = 10 + LAG = 12.
+ 11   (same)                  A           Still before slotOfChange → pre (A).
+ 12   (same)                  B           slot >= slotOfChange → post (B) activates.
+ 13   (same)                  B           B remains active.
+ 14   (same)                  B           B remains active.
+ 15   Update allowed again    B           Earliest next update: soc + (LIFETIME - LAG)
+                                          = 12 + 3 = 15.
+```
+ 
+Key observations:
+
+1. **Slots 10-11**: The old fees (A) are still in effect. Transactions submitted during
+   these slots see the old L1 cost. This is the **LAG** window — it gives pending
+   transactions 2 slots to land before fees change.
+
+2. **Slot 12**: The new fees (B) activate. Any checkpoint proposed at slot >= 12 uses B
+   for its sequencer/prover cost calculation.
+
+3. **Slots 12-14**: No new oracle update is accepted. The system is in a **cooldown**
+   period of `LIFETIME - LAG = 3` slots after the transition.
+
+4. **Slot 15**: A new oracle update can be queued (earliest `acceptableSlot`). If
+   triggered, the new values would activate at slot 15 + LAG = 17.
+
+## Fee Asset Price
+
+Fees are computed in ETH internally but converted to the fee asset (Fee Juice) via
+`ethPerFeeAsset` (1e12 precision). The price updates at most ±1% (±100 bps) per
+checkpoint:
+
+```
+newPrice = currentPrice * (10000 + modifierBps) / 10000
+```
+
+## Maximum Fee Change Rate

+| Fee asset price        | ±1% per checkpoint                                      |
+| Congestion multiplier  | Depends on excess mana accumulation/drain per checkpoint |
+| Sequencer/prover costs | Scale linearly with L1 fees                             |

+## TypeScript Types
+
+- **`Gas`** — mana quantity in two dimensions (`daGas`, `l2Gas`).
+- **`GasFees`** — per-unit price in each dimension (`feePerDaGas`, `feePerL2Gas`).
+- **`GasSettings`** — sender-chosen fee parameters: gas limits, teardown limits, max fees, priority fees.
+- **`GasUsed`** — actual consumption after execution. Note: `billedGas` uses the teardown gas *limit*, not actual usage.
