Live gas price on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism or Polygon — in wei and gwei, plus what a plain 21,000-gas transfer would cost in the native token, which is the number you actually budget with. Pass several chains comma-separated to compare where to execute. Call this immediately before sending a transaction: gas moves every block, so the answer is good for seconds, not minutes. Costs $0.005 USDC per call via x402 on Base.
