Gas tracker
Etherscan’s gas tracker is really useful. Gas on Ethereum can get really expensive. The cost adds up. You can view current gas prices on Etherscan, and choose one that fits your needs best. You can try to estimate the lowest price for a transaction to go through with this info.
Etherscan also displays gas price history. Based on the 7 day gas price graph, we can see that the lowest gas prices for the week are around 12 gwei.
This is really useful when your transaction isn’t time sensitive. I would set my gas price to around 15–20 in this case. Most wallets let you set your gas prices when you make transactions
