Polygon Gas Fees Chart and Historical Data
$40.00
Historical Polygon gas fee data shows fees spike during high-demand events then quickly normalize. The base fee stays under 100 Gwei for more than 95% of blocks.
Key patterns from Polygon gas fee history:
- Normal range: 30 to 100 Gwei base fee for the vast majority of blocks.
- Congestion spikes: Base fee can reach 500 to 1,000+ Gwei during major NFT mints. These spikes last minutes to hours, not days.
- MEV-driven spikes: Research by Polygon Labs shows MEV bots engaging in Priority Gas Auctions affect less than 0.03% of transactions but can push fees 60x above normal briefly.
- Weekly patterns: Weekends and 02:00 to 08:00 UTC consistently show the lowest gas prices.
- Long-term trend: Polygon's infrastructure upgrades aim to maintain low fees even as volume grows.
PolygonScan's gas tracker provides Gwei price history and a congestion heatmap by day and hour.
