Berachain fees explained
Berachain transactions are cheap. Here is how gas works, what you pay in, and how to get the BERA you need.
Why Berachain fees are low
Berachain is a high-throughput EVM layer-1, so gas stays low under normal load. You pay a small gas fee in BERA for each transaction — far cheaper than Ethereum mainnet.
What you pay fees in
All Berachain gas is paid in BERA. A small amount covers deploying a token plus many transfers.
How to get BERA
- Buy BERA on a major exchange and withdraw it to your wallet on the Berachain network.
- Or bridge assets to Berachain and swap for BERA.
- Set your wallet to Berachain — see add Berachain to MetaMask.
Fees when creating a token
