How to pay less gas on Hedera

Hedera gas — FAQ

What gas token does Hedera use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Hedera right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Hedera costs about $0.0128 at the current gas price of 1250.00 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Hedera?

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

Is Hedera a Layer 2?

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

How do I change my RPC for Hedera?

Open chainlist.org, search Hedera (chainId 295) 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 Hedera?

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.
