Questions and answers
Why are gas fees so high right now?
Because more transactions want into the next blocks than fit, so the price per unit rises until demand matches space. On Ethereum the base fee climbs by up to 12.5 % per full block. This page compares each chain's price now with its own median of the last seven days, so “high” means high for that chain.
What do normal, elevated and high mean here?
A measured ratio, not a forecast: the unit price now divided by the median of the last 7 days of our own hourly readings. Under 1.25× is normal, 1.25× to 2× elevated, 2× and above high.
