Question 1

What are Scroll gas fees?

Accepted Answer

Scroll gas fees are the transaction costs paid to validators who process and confirm operations on the Scroll network. As an EIP-1559 compatible chain, Scroll 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 Scroll inherits. The cost of a standard transfer (21,000 gas) varies depending on current network congestion and token price.

Question 2

How to track Scroll gas prices?

Accepted Answer

This real-time Scroll gas tracker shows the current cost of transactions at four priority levels: Low, Normal, High and Max. Network congestion is currently at 0.7%. Scroll produces blocks every 7.4s. All data is fetched live and refreshed automatically every few seconds.

Question 3

How much does a swap cost on Scroll?

Accepted Answer

Transaction costs on Scroll 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 Scroll gas fee calculator above to estimate the real-time cost for each operation type at every priority level.

Question 4

How to reduce Scroll transaction costs?

Accepted Answer

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 Scroll fees with other networks on the multi-network gas station to find the cheapest blockchain for your transaction.
