FIP Percentile Table
| Percentile | GWEI | ETH Transfer Cost | DEX Swap Cost | Inclusion Probability | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P50 (Median) | 0.14428 | $0.0064 | $0.0550 | 50% | Non-urgent transfers, patient DeFi |
| P70 | 0.23115 | $0.0103 | $0.0881 | 70% | Standard non-urgent operations |
| P75 | 0.26669 | $0.0119 | $0.1017 | 75% | Reliable standard inclusion |
| P80 | 0.30223 | $0.0134 | $0.1152 | 80% | DeFi operations, time-sensitive |
| P85 | 0.35488 | $0.0158 | $0.1353 | 85%+ | Urgent, liquidations, arbitrage |
Network Context for These Percentiles
| Signal | Value | Effect on Percentiles |
|---|---|---|
| IPI | 47/100 (MEDIUM) | Higher IPI compresses percentiles upward |
| Spike Score | 34/100 | Spike events widen P50–P85 spread |
| Fee Competition | 0.998916 GWEI | High spread: P85 gives more headroom vs bots |
| Block Speed Pressure | 60% | High BSP: P50 may need to be P70 for reliable inclusion |

What Are Ethereum Gas Fee Percentiles?
FIP percentiles show the distribution of gas prices across recent Ethereum transactions. P50 at 0.14428 GWEI is the median — half of all recent transactions paid this or less. At current ETH price of $2118.09, a standard ETH transfer at P50 costs $0.0064 and a DEX swap costs $0.0550.
P80 at 0.30223 GWEI beats about 80% of recent observed fee levels. This is the standard recommendation for DeFi operations that need reliable but not urgent confirmation. At current prices, this means $0.0134 for a transfer and $0.1152 for a swap.
P85 at 0.35488 GWEI provides near-guaranteed next-block inclusion. Use this for liquidations, arbitrage, and other time-critical operations where missing a block has significant cost.
How Network Intelligence Affects Percentile Choice
The current IPI of 47/100 (MEDIUM) and Fee Competition of 0.998916 GWEI affect how much headroom each percentile actually gives. When IPI is high, even P80 may not guarantee next-block inclusion in a highly competitive environment. When IPI is low (under 30), P50 is often sufficient for reliable inclusion.
The Spike Score of 34/100 indicates how anomalous current fee distribution is. During spikes, the P85–P50 spread widens dramatically as aggressive bidders separate themselves from regular users.
Choosing the Right Gas Price
Non-urgent ETH or token transfers: use P50 (0.14428 GWEI, $0.0064). Standard DeFi operations: P75–P80 (0.26669–0.30223 GWEI, $0.0119–$0.0134). Time-sensitive or MEV-adjacent: P85 (0.35488 GWEI, $0.0158). Current Block Speed Pressure of 60% should inform your urgency assessment.
