Cross-Chain Fee Comparison
See roughly what the same action costs on Ethereum L1 versus popular Layer 2s and Solana.
| Chain | Est. fee |
|---|---|
| Solana | $0.0008 |
| Polygon PoS | $0.0030 |
| Base | $0.02 |
| Arbitrum | $0.05 |
| Ethereum L1 | $11.25 |
For swap on a dex, Solana is the cheapest at about $0.0008, while Ethereum L1 costs about $11.25. That gap is exactly why most everyday activity has moved to Layer 2s.
How this is calculated
EVM fee = gasPrice (gwei) x gasUnits / 1e9 x native-token price; Solana uses a typical flat fee
- Uses representative gas prices per chain, not a live feed. Real fees move with demand.
- L2 figures reflect their typical low gas price; they still depend on Ethereum data costs.
- Edit the ETH price (the biggest variable) and pick the action to update all chains at once.
