Execution Gas

Gas Model

Matrix uses an independent execution-layer gas to power computation and state transitions on L2. This gas exists purely as technical fuel and has no economic attributes:

• No value anchoring

• No fixed supply cap

• No participation in any token economic model

• Not used for trading, speculation, or value storage

Its sole purpose is to ensure the normal operation of the execution layer.

No Bridge Dependency

The generation and consumption of gas occur entirely within Matrix’s L2 execution environment. Users do not need to bridge any gas assets from L1, thereby:

• Eliminating reliance on cross-chain bridges

• Avoiding operational complexity introduced by bridging

• Reducing potential security risks

Users can interact with Matrix directly without preparing or transferring additional gas assets in advance.

L1-Driven Gas Usage

Matrix’s execution gas is driven by L1 transactions that enter the L2. In other words:

• Gas exists to serve execution itself

• Execution demand originates from transactions submitted on L1

It does not exist independently of real execution demand, nor does it provide any mechanism for “mining,” accumulation, or speculation.

Design Advantages

This lightweight gas design provides the following benefits:

• Stable and predictable execution costs

• No exposure to market price volatility

• No incentives for speculation or accumulation

• A simpler and safer user experience

Matrix delivers an execution layer that is always available and requires no pre-funded or bridged gas assets, allowing users to focus entirely on transactions and applications themselves.
