Scroll fees explained
Scroll transactions cost a fraction of a cent. Here is why a zkEVM is so cheap, what you pay in, and how to get the small amount of ETH you need.
Why Scroll fees are low
Scroll executes transactions off Ethereum and posts a zero-knowledge proof plus compressed data back to it. You pay a tiny L2 execution fee plus a small L1 data fee — total usually well under a cent.
What you pay fees in
All Scroll gas is paid in ETH. A small amount covers deploying a token plus many transfers.
How to get ETH on Scroll
- Bridge from Ethereum via the official Scroll bridge (scroll.io/bridge).
- Or withdraw ETH from an exchange that supports Scroll.
- Set your wallet to Scroll — see add Scroll to MetaMask.
Fees when creating a token
Launching a token on Scroll costs the small L2 gas plus any service fee — far cheaper than Ethereum mainnet. Try the Scroll token creator or estimate with our cost calculator.
