Tip: For MEV trading, ensure your expected profit exceeds gas costs by at least 2-3x to account for failed transactions and market volatility.
Gas Optimization Tips
- Monitor Network Congestion: Gas prices fluctuate based on network activity. Use tools to track current gas prices.
- Use Gas Price APIs: Integrate with gas price estimation APIs to get real-time optimal prices.
- Consider Time of Day: Gas prices are often lower during off-peak hours.
- Optimize Gas Limit: Set gas limits accurately - too high wastes money, too low causes failures.
- Use Flashbots: Private bundles can reduce effective gas costs by avoiding public mempool competition.
- Batch Transactions: When possible, combine multiple operations into a single transaction.
Network-Specific Considerations
Ethereum
Highest gas costs but largest MEV opportunities. Typical gas prices range from 10-100+ Gwei depending on congestion. Use Flashbots bundles for better execution.
BNB Chain
Lower gas costs (typically 3-5 Gwei) make it suitable for high-frequency strategies. Good liquidity for popular tokens.
Polygon
Very low gas costs (typically 30-100 Gwei, but priced in MATIC). Excellent for testing strategies before deploying on mainnet.
Layer 2 Networks (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism)
Significantly lower gas costs than Ethereum mainnet while maintaining compatibility. Growing MEV opportunities as adoption increases.
