About these estimates
Gas fees change constantly based on network demand. These are approximate ranges based on typical 2026 conditions. Actual fees may be higher during peak congestion or lower during quiet periods. Always check current fees before transacting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are gas fees so high?+
Gas fees spike when network demand exceeds available block space. On Ethereum L1, every transaction competes for limited space in each block, and users bid higher fees to get included faster. Major NFT mints, token launches, and market volatility events can all cause congestion. Layer 2 networks like Base and Arbitrum dramatically reduce fees by batching transactions off-chain.
What time are gas fees lowest?+
On Ethereum, gas fees tend to be lowest during US nighttime hours (roughly 2 AM to 6 AM EST) and on weekends when trading activity drops. You can save significantly by timing non-urgent transactions for these off-peak windows. Our gas estimator shows typical ranges, but real-time gas trackers can help you find the cheapest moment to send.
How can I reduce gas fees?+
The most effective way to reduce gas fees is to use a Layer 2 network like Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism, where fees are often under $0.05. You can also batch multiple actions into a single transaction, use gas-efficient protocols, or simply wait for lower-congestion periods. For Ethereum L1, setting a lower max fee and accepting a slower confirmation time can also help.
