zkSync fee now
zkSync Era 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.

Questions and answers
Why is zkSync Era cheaper than Ethereum?
Thousands of zkSync Era transactions share one batch posted to Ethereum, so each pays only a small slice of the data cost, and execution happens on zkSync Era itself where gas is cheap.
What is the L1 data fee on zkSync Era?
The part of the fee that pays Ethereum for storing the transaction's data. It is read from zkSync Era's own fee oracle and included in the figure above; when the data fee is shown separately it is labelled.
Do I pay zkSync Era fees in ETH?
Yes. The fee on zkSync Era is paid in ETH bridged to zkSync Era, also for token transfers.
