Gas Optimization
When to Use
- Estimating transaction costs before execution
- Managing nonces for sequential or parallel txs
- Submitting private transactions (Flashbots, MEV-Share)
- Handling EIP-4844 blob transactions (L2 data availability)
- Recovering stuck transactions (speed up / cancel)
Prerequisites
- MCP:
blockchain-rpc-server - Skill-15 for private tx routing on mainnet swaps
EIP-1559 Fee Strategy
maxPriorityFeePerGas = baseFee * 0.1 (min 1 gwei on Ethereum)
maxFeePerGas = baseFee * 2 + maxPriorityFeePerGas
- Fetch
eth_feeHistoryfor last 10 blocks - Use 75th percentile of priority fees
- On L2s (Arbitrum, Base, Optimism): use L1 data fee + L2 execution fee
Nonce Management
- Query
eth_getTransactionCountwithpendingtag - Use nonce manager for parallel txs (increment locally, track pending)
- Cancel: send 0 ETH self-transfer with same nonce, +20% gas
- Speed up: resubmit with same nonce, +15% maxFeePerGas
Private Transactions
| Network | Method | |---------|--------| | Ethereum | Flashbots Protect RPC, MEV-Share | | Polygon | Fastlane private RPC | | Base/Arbitrum | Sequencer private orderflow (limited) |
Use private submission for swaps, liquidations, and any MEV-exposed operation.
Blob Fees (EIP-4844)
For rollup batch submissions or blob-carrying txs:
blobGasPrice = getBlobBaseFee()
totalBlobCost = blobGasUsed * blobGasPrice
Monitor excessBlobGas in block header for fee spikes.
L2 Gas Notes
| Chain | Gas Token | Notes | |-------|-----------|-------| | Arbitrum | ETH | L1 calldata cost dominates | | Optimism | ETH | L1 fee + L2 fee split | | Base | ETH | OP Stack, similar to Optimism | | Polygon | POL | Low base fees, occasional spikes |
