Gas Fees

ZENANET uses an EVM-compatible gas model.
All transactions and smart contract interactions require gas, and the network provides the current recommended gas price through the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC method eth_gasPrice.

This page explains how ZENANET determines gas price, how gas is consumed, and how developers can retrieve gas information programmatically.

Gas Price on ZENANET

ZENANET provides the recommended network gas price using:

eth_gasPrice

This method returns a value in Wei representing the minimum gas price a transaction should use to be included in the next block.

What eth_gasPrice Means on ZENANET

  • It reflects the current suggested price for transaction inclusion
  • The result is calculated based on recent block activity and network conditions
  • It updates dynamically as the network changes
  • It provides a single gas price value (not max/base fee separation)

Example Response

{
  "result": "0x2540be400"
}

This hexadecimal value represents the recommended gas price in Wei.

How Gas Fees Are Calculated

The total fee for a transaction is:

gasUsed × gasPrice

Where:

  • gasUsed = actual amount of gas consumed by the execution
  • gasPrice = value returned by eth_gasPrice or manually set by the user

This structure is fully compatible with Ethereum-based tooling, libraries, and smart contracts.

When You Pay Gas

Gas fees apply whenever you:

  • Send ZNNT
  • Deploy smart contracts
  • Execute contract functions
  • Create tokens through the AI system
  • Interact with dApps or wallets

All fees are paid in ZNNT, the native token of ZENANET.

Characteristics of Gas Fees on ZENANET

  • Gas price is stable and low due to the network’s optimized design
  • Developers can rely on predictable costs
  • Ethereum tools (Hardhat, Remix, Ethers.js, Web3.js) work with no changes
  • Wallets such as MetaMask can automatically fetch gas suggestions via RPC

Summary

  • ZENANET uses an EVM-compatible gas system
  • eth_gasPrice returns the current suggested gas price in Wei
  • Gas fees are predictable and low
  • All on-chain actions require ZNNT as gas
  • Fully compatible with existing Ethereum development tools
