Live OP Mainnet network fees in USD, updated 8 min ago.
OP Mainnet (Optimism) is an OP Stack rollup: the fee is L2 execution gas plus an L1 data fee for publishing the transaction to Ethereum. Over the last 24 hours this cost ranged from $0.00018 to $0.00019 (average $0.00019 at today's ETH price), so fees are currently about average.
The current gas price is 0.001015 gwei (base fee 0.000015 gwei + median tip 0.000001 gwei). A plain ETH transfer uses 21,000 gas, a ERC-20 token transfer about 65,000 gas (upper estimate; transfers to an address that already holds the token use less), and a simple DEX swap about 180,000 gas. On this rollup the L1 data fee for a token transfer is currently 3.12e-9 ETH (< $0.0001).
