How to pay less gas on Kaia

Kaia gas — FAQ

What gas token does Kaia use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Kaia right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Kaia costs about $0.0₃12 at the current gas price of 27.50 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Kaia?

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

Is Kaia a Layer 2?

No. Kaia is a Layer 1 (L1 (ex-Klaytn)) — its own base chain with its own validators, not a rollup settling on another network.

How do I change my RPC for Kaia?

Open chainlist.org, search Kaia (chainId 8217) 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 Kaia?

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.
