 ### Means of exchange
 
-The Convex Coin should serve as a means of exchange within the ecosystem, which can be used to facilitate efficient transactions between parties on a decentralised basis. As such, it must be convenient to use both by network users and autonomous actors / smart contracts as a digital currency.

 ### Capped maximum supply
 
 We apply a capped maximum supply so that the value of the Convex Coin is not subject to long term inflationary risks. In the long term, we would expect the Convex Coin to achieve a stable value representing the utility of lattice technology powering a diverse ecosystem.

 The Network must treat Convex Coins and coppers identically, i.e. the implementation should consider the range of possible coin values to be a value from `0` to `10^18`.
 
-Note: The maximum supply is chosen so that all valid coin balances can be expressed within a 64-bit long value, which allows for efficient implementation on most modern CPU architectures.

 - Contributors who have made positive contributions to the development of Convex core technology
 - Contributors who make positive contributions the the development of the community and ecosystem
 - Infrastructure providers (such as peer operators) who help to ensure the security and reliability of the network

+### Transaction Fees
+
+Transactions executed on the Convex network are subject to fees that reflect the cost of providing underlying network infrastructure to maintain the consensus network and global state.

+Transaction fees are intended to be small, to encourage adoption and use of the Convex network. Transaction fees MUST NOT be zero to mitigate against denial of service (DoS) attacks on the network.

+Transaction fees MUST be collected at the point of transaction execution, and placed in a pool for subsequent distribution to peer operators. This process MUST occur automatically as part of the network protocol.
