How to pay less gas on Sonic

Sonic gas — FAQ

What gas token does Sonic use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Sonic right now?

A typical DEX swap (≈150,000 gas) on Sonic costs about $0.0₃18 at the current gas price of 55.00 gwei. This updates every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Sonic?

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

Is Sonic a Layer 2?

No. Sonic 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 Sonic?

Open chainlist.org, search Sonic (chainId 146) 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 Sonic?

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.
