Gas Optimization Tips
Use Standard Gas
ETC has low network congestion. Standard gas usually confirms within a block.
Batch Transactions
Combine multiple operations when possible to save on base transaction costs.
Set Gas Limits Correctly
Do not overset gas limits. Unused gas is refunded but wallet estimates can be high.
Verify Contract Interactions
Review transaction details before confirming. Failed transactions still cost gas.

Network congestion
Ethereum Classic maintains low gas prices due to its efficient block production and lower network congestion compared to Ethereum. This makes ETC ideal for frequent transactions and DeFi activities.
