We thought hard about redesigning an update rule for the base fee of Monad that is well-suited to high throughput and short block times. As a result, Category Labs is excited to share our **design motivations** and an interactive simulation in our latest blog post: [Redesigning a Base Fee for Monad](https://www.category.xyz/blogs/redesigning-a-base-fee-for-monad). We welcome feedback and further discussion on our design choices and motivations!
