Arbitrum gas fee now
Arbitrum is a layer 2 on Ethereum. A transfer pays two parts, both in ETH: the L2 execution fee (gas used × the L2 gas price, usually tiny) and an L1 data fee for publishing the transaction's data on Ethereum. Since EIP-4844 that data goes into blobs, so the L1 part follows Ethereum's blob fee rather than its gas price.
