What Is Ethereum Gas Price?

Real-Time Ethereum Transaction Cost in Gwei & USD

Gas price refers to the amount of Ether (ETH) you pay per unit of computational work on the Ethereum network. Measured in Gwei — one billionth of an ETH — gas prices fluctuate in real time based on how many users are competing for block space. As of March 2026, the average base fee sits around 0.106–0.144 Gwei, making ETH transactions far cheaper than during the 2021 congestion peak of over 220 Gwei.
