How to pay less gas on Bitlayer

Bitlayer gas — FAQ

What gas token does Bitlayer use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Bitlayer right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Bitlayer costs about $0.2902 at the current gas price of 0.0250 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Bitlayer?

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

Is Bitlayer a Layer 2?

Yes. Bitlayer is a Layer 2 (Bitcoin L2 (EVM)). L2s batch transactions off-chain, which is why fees are usually far lower than on Ethereum mainnet.

How do I change my RPC for Bitlayer?

Open chainlist.org, search Bitlayer (chainId 200901) 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 Bitlayer?

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.
