Comparison table of actual transaction fees of layer 2 networks (average estimate)

Layer-2 NetworkAverage Transaction Fee

LineaAbout 0.04 USD / transaction

OptimismAbout 0.05 USD

BaseAbout 0.06 USD

ArbitrumAbout 0.10 – 0.20 USD depending on the time

zkSync EraAbout 0.15 – 0.17 USD

Important note

These are average fees, depending on:

the time of high network traffic

type of transaction (sending ETH is cheaper than DEX swap)

the complexity of smart contracts

After recent upgrades, fees on most Layer-2 have decreased significantly.

Linea, Optimism, and Base are often among the cheapest.

zkSync has higher fees due to more complex zk proof processing.
