FAQ
What is gwei?
Gwei is a small denomination of ether used to price gas. One gwei is one-billionth of an ether.
Why do fees change so fast?
Ethereum fees are set by real-time demand for block space and can change every block.
Why does the total cost differ from just the gwei price?
The fee you pay is the gwei price multiplied by the gas the transaction actually uses. A plain ETH transfer uses a fixed, small amount of gas; a smart-contract interaction like a swap or an NFT mint can use many times more, so the total cost scales with both numbers, not gwei alone.
Should I always use the fast tier?
Not necessarily. The fast tier gets confirmed sooner for a higher fee; the safe tier costs less but can take longer during busy periods. Pick based on how time-sensitive the specific transaction actually is.
