# Practical Considerations

### *Predictability*

Gas fees are calculated deterministically, ensuring users can predict transaction costs before submission.

### *Market Influence*

The cost components (e.g., AWS RDS and computational instances) may fluctuate based on market conditions, but their impact is relatively stable within epochs.

### *Sustainability*

By separating storage and computation costs, Kalp DPI ensures fair compensation for validators and incentivizes efficient use of network resources.

This approach to gas fee calculation allows Kalp DPI to balance economic incentives with network sustainability, ensuring scalability and affordability for all participants.
