 ## Base Fee
 
-**Value**: `2 × 10^10` wei (20 gwei)
+**Value**: `2 × 10^10`
 
 **Rationale**:
 - A standard TIP-20 transfer costs approximately 50,000 gas
-- At 20 gwei base fee: `50,000 × 20 × 10^9 = 10^15 wei = 0.001 USD` (assuming 1 ETH = $1000 for unit conversion reference)
-- This targets approximately **0.1 cent per TIP-20 transfer**
+- Fee calculation: `gas_used × base_fee / 10^12` (the 10^12 denominator is an adjustment Tempo uses when setting gas fees; see [fee units](/protocol/fees/spec-fee#fee-units))
+- At this base fee: `50,000 × 2 × 10^10 / 10^12 = 1000` microdollars, or `1000 / 10^6 = $0.001` (0.1 cent per transfer)
 
-**Note**: The base fee may fluctuate based on network demand through the existing EIP-1559-style mechanism. This value represents the target equilibrium base fee.
+**Note**: This is a fixed base fee; Tempo does not use EIP-1559 to adjust the base fee. However, if blocks are full, transactions may need to include a priority fee to be included, which could result in transfers costing more than $0.001.

 ## Economic Analysis
 
-### Fee Revenue Projections
+### Cost of Attack
 
-At full payment lane utilization:
-- 10,000 transfers per block × 50,000 gas × 20 gwei = 10^16 wei per block
-- At 2 blocks/second: 2 × 10^16 wei/second = ~$0.02/second (at reference pricing)
-- Daily: ~$1,728 in base fees from payment lane alone
+To fill up the payment lane at the base fee, an attacker would need to spend:
+- 10,000 transfers per block × $0.001 per transfer = $10 per block
+- At 2 blocks/second: $20/second
+- Daily: ~$1,728,000
