Organizing gas markets on @unichain
Gas Network ⛽ has deployed its Gas Agent and Gas Oracle on Unichain 🦄 – giving Unichain developers new capabilities to permissionlessly integrate real-time fee data into their protocols.
🧵
Fees are the lifeblood of web3; Today Gas Network is bringing these markets out of the shadows.
Our new @Dune Community Dashboard, built in collaboration with @sealaunch_ makes gas fees more visible and accessible.
Curious about use cases for Gas Network?

believe in somETHing.
Ten years ago today, the Ethereum network went live, bringing smart contracts to the world.
Now, with ten years of uninterrupted uptime, Ethereum is changing the world.
Happy birthday, world computer!
Gas fees aren’t just a cost—they’re the invisible gatekeeper of Web3.
If we can open that gate, we can super-charge every wallet, protocol, and rollup on Ethereum and beyond.
🧵
Gas fees constrain demand, they don’t create it.
Academic work puts on-chain price elasticity at -1.11: every 1 % fee cut sparks ~1.11 % more transactions. Small tweaks → big waves.
Scale that across Ethereum + L2s and a modest 20% efficiency gain = 22 % more baseline volume.
Default RPCs are leaving 💰 on the table.
We’ve seen popular providers over-estimate gas by >10× on certain L2s. Users overpay, some txs never fire, and liquidity just… evaporates.
This isn’t just about “lower gas.”
It’s about unlocking latent demand—keeping trades alive when fees spike and keeping blockspace full when they drop.
More accurate gas = higher TVL, tighter spreads, happier users.
Good fee data is a public good the whole ecosystem compounds on.
That’s why we’re building @GasNetwork ⛽—precision gas oracles that turn today’s silent tax into tomorrow’s growth engine.

Why it matters
Onchain actors spent >$5 billion on gas fees alone last year, yet wallets consistently overshoot estimates and thus waste $$$ on gas.
Gas Network turns these inefficiencies into onchain opportunities for regular crypto users via our new gamified public good.
The mission
Every time you update an oracle you shrink the “gap” between offchain and onchain gas prices.
Smaller gap → fewer failed transactions → cheaper blockchain for all!
Right now, gas fee markets often run via social consensus - and have no onchain source of truth.
In our latest blog post, we examine how @BNBCHAIN’s recent offchain fee market upgrade - and how @gasdotnetwork is working to make gas rules discoverable by code, not luck.
Freedom to transact shapes how we associate - and DAOs are a natively on-chain way of being, and building, in community.
We’re proud to co-sign @UniswapFND’s call for the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS to provide legal pathways for DAOs.
DAOs are reshaping how communities organize and innovate, with global reach and meaningful economic impact
Yet many DAOs lack access to basic legal infrastructure
It’s time to change that
Let’s check the Capture the Gap leaderboard:
An anon leads Season 2, but is #4 on the all-time list.
got-gas❓.eth is s2 #2, but leads all-time, with @x2inty #2 on the all-time board.
Market volatility = bigger gas-spikes, gaps, and POINTS.
ETH? Moving.
ETH gas? Not too bad: 0.763 gwei
Gas price is about network congestion. Whether there's a volatility spike, a DeFi stampede, or a coveted NFT mint, gas price matters.
We’ve built a multichain oracle to bring accurate gas prices to everyone.
Finally, congratulations to this week’s top 5 leaders.

Crypto markets down today, with lots of outflows.
Transaction fees reflect blockspace demand - as traders exit positions, gas can go up.
Ethereum mainnet fees were over 2 GWEI at 10:30AM EDT, over 400% of fees overnight.
Calling builders: today, we kick off our incentive program!
Gas Network is live on @ethereum@base@optimism@arbitrum@LineaBuild @UnichainXYZ - and we support 40 chains via our Gas Agents!
We’re rewarding early contributors with retroactive rewards.

Today, there is no standard method for sharing gas fee estimation and prediction, making gas markets disorganized and inefficient.
Gas Network is building a low-latency protocol for the real-time exchange of verifiable gas data. Today, the Gas Network supports @Ethereum, @Base, @Optimism Mainnet, @Arbitrum One, @zkSync Era, @LineaBuild, @Blast, @0xPolygon, @0xSonicLabs, and @SeiNetwork — with more to come.
Interested L1, L2, L3, DA, and RaaS providers can join the Gas Network by visiting our website.
Web3 Fees are a huge market:
⚫️ Cumulative gas fees across all blockchains analyzed: $29.6 billion
⚫️ Past year: $5.3B in total transaction fees
⚫️ Monthly average: ~$460M
Congratulations to the first two competitors to achieve the Buterin level on our all-time Capture the Gap leaderboard by earning over 100M points - @x2inty and got-gas❓.eth!
Gas is one of the biggest COGS for ETH L2s - and accounting for this can be challenging.

⛽ is the throughline of Ethereum’s roadmap. Across all mainnet upgrades, ~45% of
EIPs have been directly or indirectly related to gas and fees.
Striking figure, but it shows that gas considerations have been at the heart of Ethereum’s evolution.

The evolution is here. The age of verifiable apps has begun.
Introducing EigenCloud, a platform for verifiable apps, services, and AI, built on EigenLayer, secured by the EIGEN token. ☁️
Crypto has spent a decade building trustless infrastructure.
Now it's time to build on it.
DeFi protocol @ethena integrates L1 transaction fees into its core operations - and that makes optimizing gas mission-critical.
That’s why they partner with @gasdotnetwork by @blocknative.
The advanced statistical models and real-time mempool data integrated into our API help Ethena navigate volatility with precision.
For the first time since December, ETH is trading over $4,000!
A credit to the always-up, enterprise-grade chain.
Building on @ethereum and shaping the future of programmable money?
@gasdotnetwork’s precise gas reporting helps you deliver a seamless experience to your users.
Gas fees reflect demand for real blockspace and represent one of the largest spends across the ecosystem.
But fees are opaque, and until today there was no resource to help users explore fee markets.

New season, new leaderboard toppers!
got-gas❓.eth is #1 on the leaderboard today. He’s also topped the all-time leaderboard, displacing Season 1 champion @x2inty.
Say it with me: 👏 Efficient 👏 Gas 👏 Markets 👏 Matter! 👏 Congrats to the @avax team – one of our partners – on seeing a strategic investment pay off in increased transaction volumes, fees, and TVL. Why does this work? Read on anon:

We are excited to announce that Web3Onboard is now part of the @thirdweb family -- where it will continue to be supported and enhanced.
Read the post to learn more:
ETH gas? Low: 0.245 gwei
Gas price is about network congestion.
NFTs swept, but not another 2022-style gas war this time (nearly $5M in gas fees were lost with Otherside back then!)
We’re building a multichain oracle to bring accurate gas prices to everyone.
Additional items included in this patch:
- Base <> Unichain Rewards Balance
- Mainnet Oracle Fee adjustment
Response to the game has been excellent! We will be consistently updating the game with new features, networks and ways to climb the leaderboard!
Very few people think about fees holistically across all of crypto. And even finding the data to compare fees has historically been difficult.
We recently launched a new @Dune community dashboard to help bring visibility to the gas markets
dune.com/gas_network/gas-fee…
Ethereum mainnet gas spiked yesterday - 82.2 gwei at its highest - while most L2 transaction fees remained low.
Why? Major token action - the WLFI airdrop spiked a DeFi-summer level of activity as people rushed to claim, trade and sell.
Wallets, protocols, solvers, bridges, bots, and paymasters require accurate transaction price signals. However, the web ecosystem is currently missing a unified source for gas price discovery.
Meet Gas Network.
Blue chip NFT sweeps, TGEs around the corner, stablecoins entering the mainstream…
We need the right gas, right now.
Your RPC is lying to you - but Gas Network brings your community and ecosystem the most accurate gas prices possible.
Capture the Gap Patch Notes:
We just shipped a small update to the game with the following changes:
Achievements are now in their own section on the lower right and always visible.
This is to make room for more achievements in the future!
Gas Facts:
For most of 2025, Solana dominated fee markets, consistently outpacing Ethereum in transaction fee share.
In June, Ethereum overtook Solana's lead, with 25.8% of total gas spend!
Is this is a temporary blip or the start of a shift in momentum? Time will reveal. ⛽️
All eyes on crypto - let’s check our @Dune Community Dashboard making major chain gas fees visible to all.
Gas reflects blockspace demand. It’s one of the biggest spends in crypto.

(3/6)
This chart illuminates a chain’s vitality - and its history.
When Ethereum launched, its fees were only 0.1% of the total - with Bitcoin fees at 99%. In 2022, Ethereum fees were at 82.2%. In January 2025, they made up one-third, with Bitcoin fees only 7.5% of the total.
Maybe you’d like to build:
- a smart contract that uses onchain gas price
- a bot that waits for low-fee windows
- a Dune dashboard or gas visualizer
- a dev tool or SDK to help others build with gas-awareness
or something else!
