How to pay less gas on Etherlink

Etherlink gas — FAQ

What gas token does Etherlink use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Etherlink right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Etherlink costs about $0.0₄31 at the current gas price of 1.00 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Etherlink?

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

Is Etherlink a Layer 2?

Yes. Etherlink is a Layer 2 (Optimistic (Tezos)). L2s batch transactions off-chain, which is why fees are usually far lower than on Ethereum mainnet.

How do I change my RPC for Etherlink?

Open chainlist.org, search Etherlink (chainId 42793) 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 Etherlink?

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.
