Real-World EVM Example

Assume:

• Base Fee = $0.30 (covers gas for 1 contract call).
• Variable Fee = $0.15 (your profit margin).

Number of Addresses (( N ))	Fee Calculation	Total Fee
1	$0.30 + ($0.15 × √1) = $0.45	$0.45
5	$0.30 + ($0.15 × √5) ≈ $0.64	$0.64
20	$0.30 + ($0.15 × √20) ≈ $0.97	$0.97
100	$0.30 + ($0.15 × √100) = $1.80	$1.80

Why This Works

1. No Free Tier: Even small payrolls (e.g., 1 address) generate revenue.
2. Sub-Linear Growth: Fees scale with ( \sqrt{N} ), so doubling ( N ) increases fees by ~40% (not 100%).
   • Example: 4 addresses → $0.30 + ($0.15 × 2) = $0.60
     16 addresses → $0.30 + ($0.15 × 4) = $0.90 (4x addresses, 1.5x fees).
3. Profit Stability:
   • Base Fee covers gas volatility.
   • Variable Fee ensures margins grow with usage.

Adjust Base Fee and Variable Fee based on your target EVM chain’s gas costs (e.g., higher fees for Ethereum, lower for Polygon).
