How does Groth16 verification speed affect Kaspa transaction fees?

Groth16 verification costs more in Kaspa transaction fees because it is approximately 134 times slower than ECDSA signature verification. Blockchain fees are typically tied to how much computation an operation requires — the heavier the work, the higher the price. Kaspa priced the Groth16 precompile directly from benchmark measurements that quantified this gap against ECDSA, the standard algorithm used to verify wallet signatures. If you are a developer writing programs that rely on Groth16 proof verification, plan for significantly higher per-verification transaction costs compared to ordinary signature checks.
