Crypto Gas Station
Real-time gas fee tracker across the top blockchains — compare current gas prices in Gwei across 31 networks, live.
Live—
Fees estimated for a standard transfer (21,000 gas EVM / 250 vByte BTC). Normal = live RPC values. USD from CoinGecko live prices.
Network load
Network Congestion
Estimated relative to each network's historical baseline. High congestion = block space is full → fees rise.
Low ≤25%
Moderate 25–50%
High >50%

Understanding Gas Fees
The essentials of how blockchain transaction fees work — in plain language.
What is gas?
Gas measures the computational effort behind every on-chain action. Total fee = gas used × gas price (in Gwei).
Base fee vs priority tip
The base fee is set by the network and burned. The priority tip goes to validators to speed up inclusion in the next block.
Choosing speed
Low: cheapest, may wait. Normal: live market rate. High / Max: next block guaranteed, even when the network is busy.
Save on fees
L2 networks like Arbitrum, Base and Optimism are 10–100× cheaper than Ethereum mainnet for identical transactions.
