What is the Etherscan Gas Tracker?

Etherscan's Gas Tracker is the most trusted source for real-time Gwei prices on the Ethereum network. It breaks down costs into 'Low', 'Average', and 'High' categories based on current block space demand.

Beyond simple Gwei numbers, it provides estimated USD costs for common actions like ERC-20 transfers, Uniswap swaps, and NFT sales, making network fees tangible for the average user.

Key Features

✓Real-time Gwei price monitoring with rapid updates
✓Estimated USD costs for swaps, transfers, and mints
✓Historical gas price charts to spot weekly low-cost windows
✓Base fee vs Priority fee breakdown (EIP-1559)
✓Top gas guzzler list to identify which contracts are driving demand

Important Reminders

✕Cannot predict sudden gas spikes from hot NFT mints

✕Does not track non-Ethereum networks (use L2 trackers)

✕Actual wallet execution cost may differ slightly

✕Is a tracker, not a transaction accelerator

Who is it for?

DeFi Swappers

Traders waiting for sub-20 Gwei to consolidate positions or claim rewards.

NFT Collectors

Users planning to list or transfer art without overpaying for priority.

Smart Contract Devs

Developers testing deployment costs and network efficiency.

How to Save on Gas

Open the tracker before preparing your transaction

Identify if the current Gwei is at a local low (using the chart)

Choose the 'Low' fee if your transaction is not time-sensitive

Adjust your wallet's priority fee to match the tracker's data

Wait for the weekend or early morning (UTC) for the best rates
