estimator = GasEstimator()
prices = estimator.get_gas_prices(chain_id=1)
print(f"Fast: {prices['fast']} Gwei")
print(f"Standard: {prices['standard']} Gwei")
print(f"Economical: {prices['economical']} Gwei")

data="0xa9059cbb...",
value=0,
chain_id=1
)
print(f"Gas Estimate: {estimate['gas_estimate']} units")
print(f"Cost: {estimate['cost_usd']} USD")
Output:
Gas Estimate: 52108 units

3. Batch Multiple Transactions
from scripts.transaction_batcher import TransactionBatcher
batcher = TransactionBatcher()
transactions = [
{"to": "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48", "data": "0x095ea7b3..."},

| OPTIMAL | < 5 Gwei | Very Low ($0.01-0.05) | Execute immediately |
| LOW | 5-20 Gwei | Low ($0.05-0.20) | Good time to execute |
| MEDIUM | 20-50 Gwei | Moderate ($0.20-0.50) | Consider waiting |
| HIGH | 50-100 Gwei | High ($0.50-1.00) | Wait for better price |
| CRITICAL | > 100 Gwei | Very High ($1.00+) | Delay if not urgent |
2026 Context: Gas prices are historically low (0.04-0.05 Gwei) due to EIP-4844 blob transactions and improved network efficiency.
Best Practices
Gas Optimization Strategies
- Batch Transactions: Use Multicall3 to combine multiple calls (25-35% savings)
- Off-Peak Timing: Execute during weekends or early UTC hours
- L2 Networks: Use Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon for 95%+ savings
- EIP-1559: Set appropriate base fee + priority fee for faster inclusion
- Simulation: Always simulate transactions before execution
- Monitoring: Set up alerts for optimal gas price windows
Security Best Practices
- Never expose private keys or sensitive data
- Validate all transaction data before signing
- Use secure RPC endpoints (Infura, Alchemy)
- Implement maximum gas price limits
- Monitor for front-running on large transactions
- Use multicall's
allowFailure flag for non-critical operations
- Verify contract addresses before interaction
- Test on testnets before mainnet deployment
Integration Guidelines
- Cache gas prices for 30-60 seconds to reduce API calls
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
- Use multiple RPC providers for failover
- Handle rate limits gracefully
- Log all optimization decisions for auditing
- Set realistic timeout values (10-30 seconds)
- Validate API responses before processing

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: "API rate limit exceeded"
- Solution: Upgrade to paid Etherscan API tier or implement request throttling
Issue: "RPC connection failed"
- Solution: Check ETHEREUM_RPC_URL or switch to alternative RPC provider
Issue: "Gas estimation failed"
- Solution: Transaction may fail on-chain, review contract logic and parameters
Issue: "Multicall not supported"
- Solution: Verify chain has Multicall3 deployed at standard address
Issue: "Price data unavailable"
- Solution: CoinGecko API may be rate-limited, implement caching
