This is because the fee is decided based on the complexity of the smart contract. Since such platforms have a complex monolithic codebase, the transaction cost is always high. Therefore, to mitigate this problem we are utilizing our architecture to offload the computation. With our architecture, each Branch contract is there just to store the liquidity pools. All of the heavy computations of the protocol like interest rate calculation, tracking different assets, tracking different positions, liquidations, etc happen in the Root, which is deployed in a chain with negligible transaction costs. Therefore, by doing this, we are essentially optimizing the gas cost by a large magnitude. This makes our protocol exteremly affordable for all users. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.cedro.finance/features/computation-offloading.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
