What is the current ETH gas price?

The current ETH gas price is 0.814414 Gwei for the base fee. Ethereum gas is measured in Gwei (1 Gwei = 0.000000001 ETH) and paid in ETH. The tracker at the top of this page refreshes every block, so the number you see is the live on-chain value — useful when you need to decide whether to send a transaction now or wait for cheaper fees.

What are Ethereum gas fees?

Ethereum gas fees are the transaction costs paid to validators who process and confirm operations on the Ethereum network. As an EIP-1559 compatible chain, Ethereum fees consist of a base fee (adjusted dynamically per block based on network demand) plus a priority tip that incentivises faster transaction inclusion. The Ethereum gas guide walks through how base fee and priority tip combine, using the same model Ethereum inherits. The cost of a standard transfer (21,000 gas) varies depending on current network congestion and token price.

How to track Ethereum gas prices

This real-time Ethereum gas tracker shows the current cost of transactions at four priority levels: Low, Normal, High and Max. Network congestion is currently at 45.9% (moderate). Ethereum produces blocks every 16.6s, which means transaction confirmations are very slow. All data is fetched live from the ChainGate API and refreshed automatically every few seconds.

How much does a swap cost on Ethereum?

Transaction costs on Ethereum depend on the operation complexity. A simple native token transfer uses 21,000 gas, while an ERC-20 token transfer requires around 65,000 gas. More complex operations like DEX swaps typically use around 150,000 gas, and NFT mints can use 150,000 gas or more. Use the Ethereum gas fee calculator above to estimate the real-time cost for each operation type at every priority level.

How to reduce Ethereum transaction costs

Select "Low" priority when your transaction is not time-sensitive to pay the minimum fee. Transact during off-peak hours when network congestion is lower. You can also compare Ethereum fees with other networks on our multi-network gas station to find the cheapest blockchain for your transaction.
