Frequently asked questions
What is Base gas?
Gas is the fee paid to the Base network to execute transactions. It's quoted in gwei (1 gwei = 1e-9 ETH) and paid in ETH on Base.
Is the gas tracker free?
Yes — 5 free lookups per day per IP, no signup. After the daily limit you can continue via the DeFi Intel Agent Gateway API (pay-per-use) or a prepaid API key.
What do fast / standard / slow mean?
They are the suggested price tiers: fast prioritises speed, standard is the typical recommendation, slow is the lowest (may wait longer for confirmation).
Can I poll gas prices automatically?
Yes — open a prepaid session on the gateway and poll with x-session (no per-call signing). See the poller recipe in the API docs.
