One of the biggest advantages of BNB Smart Chain over Ethereum is dramatically lower gas fees. But fees vary significantly between operation types.
How Gas Pricing Works on BSC
Every operation costs gas units, and you pay gas price in Gwei per unit. Total fee equals Gas Units times Gas Price times BNB Price. At 3 Gwei and BNB at $600, a simple token transfer costs about $0.12.
Gas Costs for Major BSC Operations
Simple BNB transfer costs 21,000 gas at approximately $0.04. BEP-20 token transfer costs 65,000 gas at approximately $0.12. Token approval costs 46,000 gas. PancakeSwap swap costs 150,000 gas at approximately $0.27. Adding liquidity costs 200,000 gas. Minting a single NFT costs 100,000 gas. Deploying an ERC-20 contract costs 1,500,000 gas at approximately $2.70. Deploying an NFT contract costs 2,000,000 gas at approximately $3.60.
When to Use Slow vs Fast Gas
Unlike Ethereum, BSC processes blocks every 3 seconds regardless of gas price. At 1 Gwei, your transaction still confirms in seconds. Use 5 Gwei only for time-sensitive operations like competitive NFT mints.
