eth_gasPrice

Returns the current gas price in wei. This value is determined by the node based on recent block gas prices and represents a suggested gas price for legacy (non-EIP-1559) transactions.

Parameters

None.

Returns

string -- The current gas price in wei as a hexadecimal string.

Example

curl -s -X POST https://rpc.pulsechain.box \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_gasPrice",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x3b9aca00"
}

Notes

• The result is denominated in wei (1 PLS = 10^18 wei).
• 0x3b9aca00 is 1 Gwei (1,000,000,000 wei), a common base gas price on PulseChain.
• For EIP-1559 transactions, consider using eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas and the base fee from the latest block header instead.
• The returned value is a suggestion; actual gas prices may vary depending on network congestion.
