Cost to send ENA on Base: $0.0011
Live network fee for a ENA (ERC-20) transfer, updated 9 min ago.
Sending ENA on Base currently costs about $0.0011 in network fees (3.98e-7 ETH). The fee is paid in ETH, not in ENA: keep a little ETH in the wallet or the transfer will fail.
ENA also exists on 6 other networks we track. 2 of them are cheaper right now — the cheapest is ENA on OP Mainnet at $0.00019. 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).
