World Chain fees explained
World Chain transactions are cheap and fast. Here is how gas works, what you pay in, and how to get the ETH you need.
Why World Chain fees are low
World Chain is an Ethereum layer-2 that batches transactions and settles to Ethereum, so gas stays low. You pay a small gas fee in ETH per transaction — far cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, and even deploying a token costs little.
What you pay fees in
All World Chain gas is paid in ETH. A small amount covers deploying a token plus many transfers.
How to get ETH on World Chain
- Bridge ETH from Ethereum or another chain to World Chain.
- Or withdraw ETH from a supporting exchange directly to World Chain.
- Set your wallet to World Chain — see add World Chain to MetaMask.
Fees when creating a token
Launching a token on World Chain costs the small gas plus any service fee — far cheaper than Ethereum. Try the World Chain token creator or estimate with our cost calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How much are World Chain gas fees?
Very low — usually a fraction of a cent for a transfer, and far cheaper than Ethereum for deploying a token.
What coin pays World Chain fees?
ETH. Keep a small amount on the World Chain network.
Why is World Chain cheaper than Ethereum?
It is a layer-2 that batches transactions and settles to Ethereum, so gas does not spike the way it does on mainnet.
