Gas price comparison
The current gas price on all 17EVM chains NodeFlare serves, side by side, with what a plain transfer, an ERC-20 transfer and a token swap would cost right now in the chain's native currency and in USD.
The costs are execution gas only, based on fixed gas amounts per transaction type. Rollup data fees and the exact gas use of a specific contract are not included, so treat the figures as a comparison between chains, not as a quote for one transaction.

Gas price, base fee and priority fee in gwei.
How to read the table
- Gas price: what the chain's node currently suggests per unit of gas (eth_gasPrice), in gwei.
- Base fee: the base fee per gas of the latest block. Chains without a base fee show a dash or zero.
- Priority fee: the tip the node currently suggests on top of the base fee (eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas).
- Cost columns: gas price times 21,000, 65,000 and 150,000 gas, shown in the native currency and, where a market price is known, in USD.
Reading gas yourself? See eth_gasPrice, eth_feeHistory and eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas, or browse all supported chains.
Gas price comparison: FAQ
How is the transaction cost calculated?
Cost is the chain's current gas price multiplied by the gas a transaction uses. A plain transfer of the native currency uses 21,000 gas. For an ERC-20 transfer the table assumes 65,000 gas and for a token swap 150,000 gas. Those two are typical round figures, not measurements: the real amount depends on the token contract and the exchange you use.
Why can a transaction on a rollup cost more than the table shows?
The table covers execution gas only. Rollups also charge for publishing the transaction data to their parent chain, either as a separate fee or as extra gas on top of these figures. That part depends on the size of the transaction and on the parent chain's fees at that moment, and it is not included here.
How fresh are the numbers?
They are read from the chains when the page is requested and reused for at most 60 seconds, so that many visitors do not turn into many node requests. The time of the measurement is shown above the table, and the Refresh button fetches the current snapshot without reloading the page.
Where does the data come from?
Gas price, base fee and priority fee are read over JSON-RPC from each chain through NodeFlare's RPC endpoints: eth_gasPrice, the base fee of the latest block, and eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas. USD values use the market price of each chain's native currency from the public DefiLlama price API. When no price is available, only the native amount is shown.
Which chains are compared?
All 17 EVM chains NodeFlare serves. A chain that does not answer at the moment of measurement is marked as such; it is not filled in with an estimate.
Can I read these values from my own code?
Yes. eth_gasPrice, eth_feeHistory and eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas are standard JSON-RPC methods on every chain in the table. A free NodeFlare API key includes 3,000,000 compute units per month at up to 10 requests per second.
