Where it is cheapest to move ETH
Fantom cheapest at $0.000001 - then Scroll and Gnosis. Same 21k gas, different bill.
Why such a big difference?
Base, Optimism and Arbitrum batch transactions off mainnet, so gas prices stay tiny even when Ethereum mainnet ticks up. Sidechains like BSC and Polygon run their own validators with different fee markets. Same 21k gas, very different price per unit of gas + native token price.
