⛽ 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.
