How to pay less gas on Taiko

Taiko gas — FAQ

What gas token does Taiko use?

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

How much does a swap cost on Taiko right now?

A typical DEX swap on Taiko uses about 150,000 gas; the live USD cost is shown at the top of this page and refreshes every few minutes.

Why are gas fees changing on Taiko?

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

Is Taiko a Layer 2?

Yes. Taiko is a Layer 2 (ZK Rollup (based)), settling on Ethereum. L2s batch transactions off-chain, which is why fees are usually far lower than on Ethereum mainnet.

How do I change my RPC for Taiko?

Open chainlist.org, search Taiko (chainId 167000) 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 Taiko?

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.
