How Does the Concept of a Transaction Fee Market Relate to Financial Derivatives Pricing?

The transaction fee market operates on supply (block space) and demand (transactions), similar to how underlying asset volatility and interest rates affect derivatives pricing. High demand for block space, like high volatility in an asset, leads to higher "premiums" (fees).

Derivatives models like Black-Scholes use market inputs to price risk. The fee market is a real-time auction reflecting the urgency and value users place on confirmation.
