Gas fees today
Transaction (gas) fees on Ethereum and other popular networks, read directly from the blockchain and updated every 30 seconds. Dollar amounts use exchange prices; the table under each network uses the “Standard” level.

Gas fee FAQ
What is the current Ethereum gas fee?
About 0.508 gwei at standard speed right now (slow 0.399, fast 2.4 gwei). Sending ETH costs about $0.021, a token transfer about $0.067, a DEX swap about $0.154. Updated every 30 seconds.
Which network has the cheapest transaction fees?
For one token swap at standard speed: Base ≈ $0.0018, Polygon ≈ $0.0043, BNB Chain ≈ $0.0049, Arbitrum ≈ $0.0061, Ethereum ≈ $0.154. Layer-2 networks such as Base and Arbitrum are usually far cheaper than Ethereum.

What are gas fees?
- Gas measures how much computation a transaction needs. Gwei is one billionth of the fee coin (ETH, BNB, POL).
- Fee = gas used × gas price. Sending a coin uses 21,000 gas; sending a token about 65,000; a DEX swap about 150,000 (depends on the protocol, can be more).
- Gas price = base fee + priority fee. The base fee is set by the network according to demand (burned on Ethereum); the priority fee is a tip for the block producer — tip more and your transaction confirms faster.
- Wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet…) usually suggest a fee for you. When the network is busy, waiting for a quieter time can save a lot on Ethereum.
