Zest supports fast, secure crypto exchanges with dynamic rate optimization.
How do Layer-2 gas fees work?
L2 networks use rollups to bundle hundreds of transactions off-chain, compress them, and submit them in a single batch to Ethereum Mainnet. This splits the L1 gas cost across thousands of transactions.
Why is Polygon PoS so cheap?
Polygon PoS is an independent EVM-compatible sidechain running on its own Proof-of-Stake consensus. Because it does not run its core execution directly on Ethereum, it achieves ultra-low native POL token fees.
What is Base gas price spike?
While Base fees are normally fraction of a cent, network congestion spikes (such as during intense meme coin trading or NFT launches) can temporarily increase gas price because of local fee market mechanisms.
