    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which blockchains are supported?

    We support 12 major EVM blockchains: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum One, Optimism, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Linea, zkSync Era, Fantom, Cronos, and Gnosis.

    How often are gas fees updated?

    Gas fees are fetched in real-time when you click "Get Current Gas Fees". The data comes directly from Infura's gas API and reflects current network conditions.

    What do Slow, Standard, and Fast mean?

    These represent different gas price tiers: Slow (cheapest, longer wait time), Standard (balanced cost and speed), and Fast (highest priority, quickest confirmation).

    Why do I need to select both blockchain and action type?

    Different blockchains have different gas fee structures, and different transaction types require different amounts of gas. This ensures accurate estimates for your specific use case.

    What is the difference between base fee and priority fee?

    Base fee is the minimum fee required by the network, while priority fee (tip) is extra payment to miners for faster processing. Total gas fee = base fee + priority fee.

    Are the gas fee estimates accurate?

    Our estimates are based on real-time network data from Infura. However, actual fees may vary slightly due to network fluctuations between estimation and transaction submission.

    Can I use this for any transaction type?

    Yes! Our tool covers common transaction types including token transfers, swaps, NFT operations, and smart contract interactions across all supported blockchains.

    How can I minimize gas fees?

    Choose less congested times, use Layer 2 solutions like Polygon or Arbitrum, batch transactions when possible, and select the appropriate gas price tier for your needs.

    💡 Pro Tip

    Gas Fee Strategy: For non-urgent transactions, use the "Slow" option to save money. For time-sensitive operations, "Fast" ensures quick confirmation. "Standard" is usually the best balance for most users. Always check current network congestion before making large transactions.
