estimateL1Fee ​

Computes the L1 portion of the fee based on the size of the RLP-encoded input transaction, the current L1 base fee, and the various dynamic parameters.

const L1FeeValue = await estimateL1Fee(publicClient, {
  abi,
  functionName: balanceOf,
  args: [address],
})

The L1 portion of the fee depends primarily on the length of the transaction data and the current gas price on L1. The Gas Price Oracle is called to provide the L1 gas price and calculate the total L1 fee.
