Summary

  • Replaces Ethereum-specific "gwei" and generic "USD per 10^18 gas" with Tempo's native economic terminology (attodollars and microdollars) in the fee specification
  • Updates the "Fee units" section to define and use attodollars (10^-18 USD) and microdollars (10^-6 USD)
  • Updates the "Gas Parameters" table to use attodollars instead of gwei
  • Removes reference to "18 decimal places of ETH"

Companion to tempoxyz/tempo#2333 which introduces this terminology in the TIPs and Rust codebase.

Terminology

  • Attodollars: Gas price unit at 10^-18 USD precision (basefee is denominated in attodollars)
  • Microdollars: TIP-20 token unit at 10^-6 USD precision (1 token unit = 1 microdollar)
  • Conversion: attodollars / 10^12 = microdollars

Made with Cursor

Replace Ethereum-specific "gwei" and generic "USD per 10^18 gas" with
Tempo's native economic terminology in the fee specification.
