How to pay less gas on Rootstock

Rootstock gas — FAQ

What gas token does Rootstock use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Rootstock right now?

Why are gas fees changing on Rootstock?

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

Is Rootstock a Layer 2?

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

How do I change my RPC for Rootstock?

Open chainlist.org, search Rootstock (chainId 30) 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 Rootstock?

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.
