Optimism transaction fee

As of June 17, 2026, Optimism native transfer fee USD is $3.91e-7 at the median (p50, 24h window), with $0.000186 at p90 and $0.000211 at p99. Optimism ranks #2 of 20 chains measured on this benchmark.

Optimism native transfer fee is $3.91e-7 (p50, 24h). Optimism uses an OP Stack EIP-1559 fee market with priority fee near-zero because the sequencer is centralized and there is no public mempool to bid against; a native ETH transfer is 21000 gas and L2 execution cost sits well under a cent. The L1 blob-posting cost (separate from this figure) is the dominant wallet-visible component during expensive blob windows. Computed via `eth_feeHistory` on the Optimism sequencer RPC.
