Sending CBBTC on Base currently costs about $0.0011 in network fees (3.98e-7 ETH). The fee is paid in ETH, not in CBBTC: keep a little ETH in the wallet or the transfer will fail.

CBBTC also exists on 3 other networks we track. 1 of them is cheaper right now — the cheapest is CBBTC on Solana at $0.00059. Only switch networks if the recipient (wallet or exchange deposit address) explicitly supports that network.

The current gas price is 0.0061 gwei (base fee 0.005 gwei + median tip 0.0011 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 1.83e-9 ETH (< $0.0001).
