Gas Price

Moderate

The amount of ETH a sender pays per unit of gas, denominated in gwei (10⁻⁹ ETH). Before EIP-1559, users set a single gas price to bid for block space; after EIP-1559, the fee is split into a burned base fee and a validator priority fee. High gas prices during network congestion are a primary cost driver for on-chain multisig transactions.
