OKRW Economics

Maroo's x/feemarket module implements an EIP-1559–compatible base fee for OKRW gas. Senders submit transactions with maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas, and standard EVM tooling fills them in without configuration. Three things work differently from Ethereum: the gas charged includes the compliance (PCL) and agent checks that run after a transaction and is never less than half its gas limit; the fee is paid in atokrw and distributed to stakers rather than burned; and on Maroo Testnet the base fee stays at its floor, min_gas_price (8,000 gwei).

All gas fees on Maroo are paid in a KRW-pegged stablecoin (OKRW). This allows users and developers to predict and manage costs in a stable, familiar unit, removing the compounded volatility that plagues other networks.

OKRW minting governs how new atokrw — Maroo's native gas token — comes into existence. (Staking is settled in a separate bond denom, atmaroo.) The design is intentionally simple: one authorized minter account creates new OKRW through the OKRW precompile, and that account changes only through on-chain governance.
