Crypto network fees right now
Cost and confirmation time of a simple transfer on seven blockchains, cheapest first. Fees are read directly from each network every five minutes.
High network fees?
Transfers between two accounts on the same exchange are usually free and instant. Otherwise, pick a cheaper network, as long as the recipient supports it.
Why do fees change so much?
Every transaction pays the network's validators to be included in a block. When many people want to send at the same time, block space gets scarce and the price goes up. Ethereum and Bitcoin fees can swing a lot within a single day.
Layer 2 networks such as Base and Arbitrum bundle many transactions together before settling them on Ethereum. Their fees are usually far lower, while still relying on Ethereum for security.
How to send USDT or USDC for less
The same stablecoin exists on several networks. Sending USDT on Ethereum can cost a few dollars, while the same amount often goes through for a fraction of a cent on Solana, Base or Arbitrum. Pick "a stablecoin" in the menu above to compare.
Careful: the sender and the recipient must use the same network. Funds sent on a network the receiving platform doesn't support can be lost. Always check the network shown next to the deposit address before you send.
How are these fees calculated?
- Bitcoin: the recommended fee rate for confirmation within about 30 minutes, applied to a standard 140-vbyte transaction.
- Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon: the current gas price times 21,000 gas for a native transfer, or 65,000 gas for a token such as USDT.
- Solana: the 5,000-lamport base fee plus the median of recent priority fees.
- Tron: a fixed estimate, about 0.3 TRX for a native transfer and 14 TRX for USDT without staked energy.
Amounts are converted to US dollars at the current price. These are network fees only: an exchange may charge its own withdrawal fee on top.
