What is Gas API

Setting the right gas price is a major challenge for wallets: you want to pay just enough for a quick confirmation—without overspending. Yet today’s Ethereum Gas APIs all rely on block-based data, returning the same rate for every transaction in each block.

Merkle Gas API changes that. By analyzing private transaction streams and historical data, we tailor gas prices to match your transaction’s specific purpose. So a simple USDC transfer gets a lower rate, while a hotly contested token swap gets a more competitive price.
