Lowest-fee networks today
Gnosis cheapest at $0.000000 - then Fantom and Scroll. Same 21k gas, different bill.
What drives the gap?
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.
