Read from live quotes for a swap worth about 1,000 USD against BTC. Both fees are already inside every quote on this site — nothing is added on top. They are the fees this desk counts, not a reading of the blockchain itself: your own wallet’s fee for the deposit transaction is separate, and set by your wallet.
Why they differ
What decides a network fee
-
01
It is a fixed amount, not a percentage
Moving 50 ETH costs the network exactly as much as moving 50,000. A fee of a few dollars is invisible on a large swap and brutal on a small one — which is why the network matters most for small amounts.
-
02
It follows congestion
Every blockchain prices its block space by demand. Mainnet gas can multiply within an hour; layer-2 networks batch transactions and stay far cheaper. The ranking above is today’s — it is recomputed every few minutes.
-
03
Token transfers cost more than coin transfers
Sending ETH is the cheapest thing Ethereum does; a token transfer runs a contract and costs more. On a layer 2 both are a fraction of the mainnet price.
FAQ
ETH fees, in short
Which ETH network is the cheapest right now?
To receive ETH: Starknet, at 0.000002 ETH. To send it: Starknet, at 0.000002 ETH. Those are this desk’s figures at 18:18 UTC; the ranking moves with congestion.
Are these fees added to my swap?
No — they are already inside it. Every amount quoted on this site is what arrives, with both network fees and our margin taken into account. The table simply shows one component that most services keep out of sight.
Can I move ETH from one network to another?
Yes. It is an ordinary swap: one deposit on the first network, one payout on the second, no bridge and no account. Pick ETH on both sides of the exchange module and choose the two networks.
Why does the same address work on several networks?
Ethereum-compatible chains — ERC20, BEP20, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and others — share one address format (0x, 42 characters). The address is valid everywhere; the funds only exist on the chain they were sent over. If that went wrong, see what to do after a wrong-network transfer.
