How to pay less gas on Avalanche C

Avalanche C gas — FAQ

What gas token does Avalanche C use?

Avalanche C pays gas in AVAX. Fees on this page are converted to USD using the live AVAX price, so you can compare Avalanche C with the other 55 EVM chains on equal terms.

How much does a swap cost on Avalanche C right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Avalanche C costs about $0.0012 at the current gas price of 1.07 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees high on Avalanche C?

Gas rises when demand for block space exceeds supply — NFT mints, airdrop claims, token trading or general congestion. Avalanche C's status is compared against its own 7-day median, so "busy" means costlier than usual, not just a raw number.

Is Avalanche C a Layer 2?

No. Avalanche C is a Layer 1 (L1) — its own base chain with its own validators, not a rollup settling on another network.

How do I change my RPC for Avalanche C?

Open chainlist.org, search Avalanche C (chainId 43114) and add a healthier RPC endpoint to your wallet. Switching RPC does NOT change the gas price (the network sets that), but a fast, non-overloaded endpoint gives better estimates and prevents stuck transactions.

When is the cheapest time to transact on Avalanche C?

Gas is often lower at night and on weekends, but every chain has its own rhythm. EVMgastracker keeps 7 days of on-chain history per chain to surface the cheapest windows — see the "Best time" heatmap on the dashboard.
