⛽ Gas Fees¶
Understanding and configuring gas fees properly can make the difference between successful trades and failed transactions. Let's master gas settings in XSHOT.
Understanding Gas Fees¶
Gas fees are transaction costs paid to blockchain networks for processing your trades. Each chain handles these differently, and XSHOT lets you optimize them all.
Chain-Specific Settings
Remember: Each blockchain maintains its own gas settings - configure them individually for optimal trading.
Gas Fees Across Chains¶
Network Cost Overview
Chain | Typical Range | High Traffic | Low Traffic |
---|---|---|---|
ETH | 30-50 GWEI | 100+ GWEI | 15-25 GWEI |
BASE | 1-3 GWEI | 5-10 GWEI | <1 GWEI |
ARB | 0.1-0.3 GWEI | 0.5+ GWEI | 0.1 GWEI |
BLAST | 1-3 GWEI | 5-10 GWEI | <1 GWEI |
Condition | Priority Fee (SOL) |
---|---|
Normal | 0.000001-0.00001 |
High | 0.0001-0.001 |
Peak | 0.001-0.01 |
No manual gas configuration needed - TRON handles fees automatically.
