Polygon gas is the computational effort required to execute operations on the Polygon network. It is essentially the fee you pay to have your transaction processed by the network's validators.
The Gas Tracker continually monitors and analyzes the Polygon blockchain. It provides real-time data on gas prices, helping you to make informed decisions on when and how to carry out your transactions.
Gas prices on Polygon fluctuate based on network demand. When the network is busy, gas prices increase as users compete for their transactions to be included in the next block. Conversely, when demand is low, gas prices decrease.
By monitoring the real-time gas prices provided by our gas tracker, you can time your transactions when gas prices are lower, optimizing your costs.
Yes, QuickAlerts allows you to set up alerts on gas prices. You can be notified when gas prices rise above or fall below certain thresholds, enabling you to stay up to date with the latest gas prices.
Matic is the native token of the Polygon network. Gas prices on Polygon are typically quoted in Matic.
The historical gas prices are calculated based on the median price of all transactions included in the recent blocks. This gives a representative snapshot of gas for any given block.
Various factors influence the gas price, including network congestion, transaction complexity, and the speed at which you want your transaction processed.
The gas price is the amount you are willing to pay per unit of gas, typically measured in Matic. The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas you're willing to use for your transaction. The total transaction fee is therefore the gas price multiplied by the gas limit.
