Polygon zkEVM is deprecated. It is no longer recommended for new integrations and references on this page reflect historical context only. New chains and applications should use Polygon Chain or Polygon CDK.
Polygon Gas Station provides gas price recommendations for Polygon Chain mainnet and Amoy testnet. It queries the RPC for eth_feeHistory and computes the 10th, 25th, and 50th percentiles of priority fees across the last 15 blocks. These become the safeLow, standard, and fast predictions.
On Polygon Chain mainnet, a minimum priority fee of 25 gWei is required.
