Dynamic Gas/Fee Estimation Improvements

[Samuel1505]

Description

Build upon estimateFees to recommend real-time competitive base fees derived from recent ledger saturation states rather than flat multipliers.

Technical Requirements

• Query ledger statistics from Horizon/RPC if available.
• Implement dynamic buffer math corresponding to current network load.
• Expose fee-level modifiers safely to the frontend.

Acceptance Criteria

• Prevents transactions from hanging during heavy congestion.
• Reduces user overpayment when network capacity is free.
• Retains safe defaults for emergency fallbacks.

Estimated Effort

Advanced: 6-8 hours
