Adds a Base Fee Model subsection to the fee specification page.

Changes

  • Added Base Fee Model subsection under Fee Units
  • Documents fixed base fee (vs EIP-1559 dynamic)
  • Explains congestion management mechanisms:
    • Payment lanes for reserved TIP-20 blockspace
    • Priority fees for bidding during high demand
    • Block gas limits for computation constraints
  • Added title to frontmatter for SEO

This addresses the documentation gap around how Tempo handles congestion with fixed fees, which came up during RFP preparation.

Add documentation explaining Tempo's fixed base fee model:
- Fixed base fee vs EIP-1559 dynamic fees
- Target cost of $0.001 for TIP-20 transfers
- Congestion management via payment lanes, priority fees, and gas limits

Also adds title to frontmatter for SEO.

- Add explicit note that Tempo has no native token and fees are USD-denominated
- Clarify that this removes need to hold volatile assets for gas
- Expand base fee model to explain predictable unit economics for applications
- Add detail on payment lanes preventing crowding from other network activity
- Specify ~94% blockspace reserved for payments, 6% for general computation
- Note allocation is conservative and may increase as throughput scales
- Clarify that general congestion cannot affect payment throughput or fees
