Hi, I’ve been running some stress testing on an AVM based network. Most people think that the transaction fee on the AVM is fixed - but it isn’t. There’s a very elegant mechanism for transaction fees to increase significantly as the local node starts to experience congestion. I haven’t been able to find out much about exactly how it is triggered but I have witnessed it in action using the “spambot” that Urtho created.

There’s some info here:

[Structure - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-details/transactions/#:~:text=Fees%20for%20transactions%20on%20Algorand,(1000%C2%B5A%20or%200.001A).&text=If%20the%20network%20is%20not,for%20a%20transaction%20is%20used).
