OpCode Costs Tables

The following tables outline the cost, in motes, for a given operation on Casper's Mainnet. If you are building for a private network or other instance of Casper, you will need to verify these costs in the associated chainspec.toml.

More information on chainspecs for private networks can be found here

note

All costs in this table are in motes, not CSPR, and the corresponding chainspec is here.
