Feature Request : Add more to FAQ #1157

Closed PizBernina closed 1 week ago

PizBernina commented 4 months ago

Would be highly appreciated to add more info regarding the fees that go to the Sequencer, rebates and burning mechanism.

  1. What does the Sequencer do with the gas fees? (ETH or STRK) Wasn't able to answer it reading https://docs.starknet.io/documentation/architecture_and_concepts/Network_Architecture/fee-mechanism/. I believe that the Sequencer would use the tokens to cover the costs for it to be 'pushed' to Ethereum. But with v0.13.0, STRK tokens can be used, so are these atomically converted to ETH?
  2. How exactly are rebates used for? I found this https://medium.com/starkware/part-3-starknet-token-design-5cc17af066c6. However, are this meant to cover the airdrop claims? Thus, these will be swapped to ETH?
  3. Is there any burning mechanism? I believe just for withdrawing from L2->L1, right?

Thanks a lot and apologies if these were answered before. Didn't find them in the docs.

@PizBernina Until someone gets around to creating an FAQ PR:

Would be highly appreciated to add more info regarding the fees that go to the Sequencer, rebates and burning mechanism.

  1. What does the Sequencer do with the gas fees? (ETH or STRK) Wasn't able to answer it reading https://docs.starknet.io/documentation/architecture_and_concepts/Network_Architecture/fee-mechanism/. I believe that the Sequencer would use the tokens to cover the costs for it to be 'pushed' to Ethereum. But with v0.13.0, STRK tokens can be used, so are these atomically converted to ETH?

Sequencers convert the fees paid in STRK and sell them for ETH to cover operating costs. In practice, the operator of every sequencer chooses how to manage their finances, so they may convert frequently or infrequently. Currently, the sequencer uses an ETH/STRK oracle to determine how many STRK tokens to charge its users as fee.

I'm still checking.

I believe you're correct, but this applies specifically to bridges. We describe the flow for the StarkGate bridge in the StarkGate bridge guide Overview
