# Q\&A

### What is the difference between gas price forecasting, and GasLockR's AFP mechanism?

The gas price forecasting service is used to determine the price range at a certain block in the future. 

AFP mechanism serves as a fundamental pricing protocol, its essential performance is to provide fixed gas price shrehold within an upcoming expected volatile period, through the API to provide real-time guidance services for related GasFi products.
