Real-Time Gas Fee Tracker
Monitor gas fees across multiple blockchain networks
Ethereum
gweiEthereum gas fees represent the computational cost of executing transactions or smart contracts on the Ethereum network. As the world's leading blockchain for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, Ethereum's gas fee structure plays a critical role in maintaining network security and efficiency. While gas fees can fluctuate based on network demand, understanding how they work is essential for optimizing your Ethereum transactions.
Avalanche
nAVAXAvalanche C-Chain gas fees provide a cost-effective and efficient solution for blockchain transactions. Known for its high throughput, low latency, and scalability, Avalanche ensures faster confirmation times and significantly lower fees compared to other blockchain networks. Whether you're a developer, investor, or user, understanding Avalanche gas fees is essential for optimizing your transactions.

Coming SoonWhat Are Gas Fees? ⛽
Gas fees are small amounts of cryptocurrency paid to execute transactions on blockchain networks. They incentivize validators or block producers to process and secure the network. Gas fees are critical for maintaining the efficiency, decentralization, and security of blockchain systems such as Ethereum, Avalanche, and others.
How Do Gas Fees Work?
Gas fees operate like fuel for your car. Just as you need enough fuel to reach your destination, blockchain transactions require "gas" to be processed. Each transaction uses a specific amount of gas, determined by its complexity and the resources it consumes.
- Sending tokens typically requires minimal gas.
- Complex smart contract interactions demand higher gas limits and fees.
Why Do Gas Fees Fluctuate?
Gas fees are dynamic and vary based on network activity:
- High demand: When a network is congested, more users compete for block space, driving fees higher.
- Low demand: During off-peak times, fees drop, making transactions more affordable.
Ethereum and EIP-1559: A Major Gas Fee Upgrade
Ethereum's gas fee system underwent a transformative upgrade on August 5, 2021, with the London Hard Fork and the introduction of EIP-1559.
Key Components:
- Base Fee: A mandatory fee determined by network demand
- Priority Fee: An optional tip for faster processing
- Max Fee: The maximum amount a user is willing to pay
How Are Gas Fees Calculated?
Gas Fee = Gas Price × Gas Limit
Example: 50 GWEI × 21,000 = 1,050,000 GWEI (0.00105 ETH)
