What is Ethereum gas?
Gas is the unit measuring computational effort required to execute operations on Ethereum. Every transaction requires gas, paid in ETH. Gas prices are denominated in Gwei (1 Gwei = 0.000000001 ETH). Higher gas prices incentivize miners to prioritize your transaction.
Slow vs standard vs fast gas prices
Slow transactions may take 10+ minutes but cost less. Standard transactions typically confirm within 1-3 minutes. Fast transactions pay a premium to confirm within the next block (roughly 12 seconds). During congestion, the difference between slow and fast can be significant.
When to submit transactions
Gas prices are generally lower on weekends, late nights (UTC), and during low market activity. Major NFT mints and DeFi launches cause gas to surge. If your transaction is not time-sensitive, monitor and submit when prices dip.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gwei?
Gwei is a denomination of ETH. 1 ETH = 1,000,000,000 Gwei. Gas prices are expressed in Gwei because they are very small fractions of ETH.
Why did my transaction fail even though I paid enough gas?
You may have set too low a gas limit (not enough gas to complete the operation) rather than too low a gas price.
How often does the gas price update?
This tracker refreshes every 15 seconds using the Etherscan API.
