Abstract: Abstract ZK-Rollups have emerged as a leading solution for blockchain scalability, leveraging succinct proofs primarily based on ZKP protocols. This paper explores the design of transaction fee mechanisms (TFMs) for ZK-Rollups, focusing on how key components like sequencing, data availability (DA), and ZK proving interact to influence cost structures. We outline the properties that a suitable TFM should possess, such as incentive compatibility and net profitability. In addition, we propose alternatives for TFMs, discuss trade-offs, and highlight open questions that require further investigation in the context of ZK-Rollups.
