Gas Costs

info

This example assumes you have read and followed the instructions in the Prerequisites and Setup sections.

Obtaining Transactions' Gas Costs​

As explained in the Common Transaction Flags section, we can obtain gas costs for different staking transactions from the genesis file by running:

cat $GENESIS_FILE | \
  python3 -c 'import sys, json; \
  print(json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin)["staking"]["params"]["gas_costs"], indent=4))'

For our network, this returns:

{
    "add_escrow": 1000,
    "burn": 1000,
    "reclaim_escrow": 1000,
    "transfer": 1000
}

Hence, we will need to set the --transaction.fee.gas flag, i.e. the maximum amount of gas a transaction can spend, in the following transactions to at least 1000 gas units.
