FAQ
How do we calculate the paymaster surcharge?
Here's a simplified and more fluent version of your text:
When you request paymaster data using pm_getPaymasterData, you need to include the user operation with the gas fees value. We sign the gas fees you specify because it’s the bundler’s responsibility to reject user operations that underpay them. Once the transaction is included on-chain, we use the actualGasCost based on the details in the UserOperationEvent.
Here’s how entryPoint determines the actualGasCost and calculates the gas price:
const gasPrice = min(userop.maxFeePerGas, baseFee + userop.maxPriorityFeePerGas);
const actualGasCost = actualGas * gasPrice;At the end of the month, we add a 10% surcharge to the actualGasCost and bill you. The total billed amount is:
const billedAmount = actualGasCost * 1.1; // 10% surchargeWhy don’t we charge 10% based on what the bundler pays? Because we might not be the bundler—you’re free to use any bundler available. Since the paymaster pays the gasCost to the bundler, and there’s no guarantee that we will be the bundler, we must charge the full actualGasCost plus the surcharge.
