Over time

Hourly averages this site collects from public nodes while it runs, so the chart grows longer every day.

0.449 gweiFee · average 0.185 gwei · low 0.034 gwei · high 0.717 gwei
Fee on ETH from 10 Nov, 15:00 to 11 Nov, 15:00 UTC: average 0.185 gwei, low 0.034 gwei, high 0.717 gwei.

What will it cost?

Estimate a transaction fee from the network's current rates. Real fees depend on your wallet and the exact transaction.

0.000007487 ETH≈ $0.0221,000 gas × (0.3565 base + 0 tip) gwei

Gas amounts are typical; complex contracts can use more. Unused gas is not charged.

How it operates

Ethereum validators propose blocks in scheduled slots. Execution uses gas to meter computation, and transactions may call smart contracts as well as transfer native ETH.

What a record contains

Core protocol fields describe the contents, ordering and execution of a transaction.

ETH transaction6 fields
  1. NonceCount of transactions sent from the account; each value is used once, in order.
  2. Gas limit / usedThe most computation the sender allows, and the amount actually consumed.
  3. Base feePer-gas price set by the protocol for each block; it is burned.
  4. Priority feePer-gas tip paid to the validator that proposes the block.
  5. Transaction statusReceipt result: 1 for success, 0 for a reverted execution.
  6. Input dataEncoded function call for a contract interaction; empty (0x) for a plain ETH transfer.
Confirmation & settlement

A proposed block is not automatically finalized. Ethereum uses proof-of-stake checkpoints to establish stronger finality over time.

Different networks, different rules

Every protocol has its own approach to ordering transactions and defining settlement.

Consensus

Validators or miners determine which data becomes part of the agreed chain or ledger.

A canonical unit containing transactions or the resulting accepted state, depending on protocol.

On XRP Ledger, look forLedger index

On TRON, a hash is64 hexadecimal characters

On Ethereum, a hash is0x followed by 64 hexadecimal characters

On Bitcoin, a hash is64 hexadecimal characters (txid)

The public identifier that receives funds or controls an account; its format is specific to each network.

The point after which a recorded transaction is treated as permanent; how it is reached, and how long it takes, depends on the protocol.

On XRP Ledger, typically~3–5 s (one validated ledger)

On TRON, typically~1 min (solidified after 19 blocks)

On Ethereum, typically~13 min (two epochs)

On Bitcoin, typically~60 min (6 confirmations, by convention)
