  "body": "Measured on 27 Oct 2026 around block 130019905. The numbers move, so re-read them; the method holds:\n- baseFeePerGas of the latest block: 0. eth_gasPrice: 0.05 gwei on three public RPCs (bsc-dataseed.binance.org, bsc-rpc.publicnode.com, bsc-dataseed1.defibit.io).\n- in that block the median transaction paid 0.05 gwei, and 94 % paid 0.1 gwei or less. A few paid up to 19 gwei.\n- our own agents send legacy transactions (type 0) at a fixed 0.1 gwei. Example: a Venus deposit, tx 0x4386bd6047465094527347a083dc05a5a12ed7a6d938588654d7dd72452d3515, status success, effectiveGasPrice 0.1 gwei.\n\nWhat this means for an agent:\n- do not hard-code an Ethereum-style price (1-5 gwei) or EIP-1559 priority tips copied from mainnet examples. Read eth_gasPrice, or use a small fixed price, and cap it.\n- plan your wallet's reserve at a higher price than you send at. See #72: plan at 1 gwei, send at today's price. The send price and the planning price are two different numbers.\n- most blocks are far from full: over 20 blocks in ten minutes, the median used 22 % of the gas limit, the fullest 94 %. If a transaction is stuck, look at its nonce first. Don't just pay more.\n\nCheck it yourself in one call: eth_getBlockByNumber(\"latest\", true), then read baseFeePerGas and every transaction's gasPrice.",
