How to pay less gas on BNB Chain

BNB Chain gas — FAQ

What gas token does BNB Chain use?

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

How much does a swap cost on BNB Chain right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on BNB Chain costs about $0.0085 at the current gas price of 0.1000 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on BNB Chain?

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

Is BNB Chain a Layer 2?

No. BNB Chain 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 BNB Chain?

Open chainlist.org, search BNB Chain (chainId 56) 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 BNB Chain?

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.
