Network Intelligence

MetricValueWhat It Means
Inclusion Pressure Index (IPI) 46/100 — MEDIUM How hard it is to get a transaction included in the next block. 0 = easy, 100 = extreme competition.
Spike Score 35/100 Measures how unusual current fee levels are vs. baseline. Above 80 = significant spike.
Fee Competition 0.931914 GWEI Spread between P90 and P50 priority fees. High spread means bots and MEV actors are fighting for block space.
Block Speed Pressure 60% Percentage of recent blocks that were over 90% full. Above 60% indicates sustained congestion.
Transactions per Minute 1616 Current throughput. Ethereum processes ~100–140 tx/min at normal load.
Block Utilization 46.2% Current block fullness vs. gas limit. Above 100% means blocks are over target size.
Network Health Score 46/100 Overall stress indicator. Below 30 = low stress. Above 85 = extreme congestion.
Last Block 25167756 Most recent confirmed block number.

What Are Ethereum Gas Fees?

Ethereum gas fees are the cost of executing transactions and smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Every action — from sending ETH to executing a DeFi swap — requires computational work, measured in gas units and priced in GWEI. Currently, the Standard Way gas price is 0.09298 GWEI, reflecting normal network conditions.

Understanding the Inclusion Pressure Index (IPI)

The Inclusion Pressure Index (IPI) is a composite metric that measures how difficult it currently is to get a transaction included in the next Ethereum block. The current IPI is 46/100 (MEDIUM). It combines three signals: transactions per minute relative to baseline (1616 tx/min currently), block fullness (46.2% of gas limit), and the spike deviation from historical averages. A high IPI means validators have many transactions to choose from and will prioritize those with higher tips.

Fee Competition and MEV Activity

Fee Competition measures the spread between P90 and P50 priority fees. The current spread is 0.931914 GWEI. A high spread indicates aggressive bidding by MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) bots and arbitrageurs who pay premium fees to guarantee block position for profitable transactions. When fee competition is high, regular users must pay more to compete with automated systems.

Block Speed Pressure

Block Speed Pressure tracks the percentage of recent blocks that exceeded 90% of the gas limit. Currently 60% of recent blocks were over 90% full. When this number is above 60%, it indicates sustained network congestion where demand consistently outpaces the available block space.

Spike Score

The Spike Score (35/100) measures how anomalous current gas prices are compared to the historical baseline. It is calculated from the weighted combination of: transaction volume deviation (40%), gas usage change (30%), block fullness (20%), and fee competition (10%). A score above 80 indicates a significant spike event. The current spike score of 35 indicates conditions are slightly elevated above baseline.

How Gas Fees Are Calculated

Since EIP-1559, every Ethereum transaction pays a base fee (burned by the network) plus an optional priority fee (tip to validators). The base fee is automatically adjusted each block based on how full the previous block was. Currently the base fee is 0.09298 GWEI for Standard Way. For a standard ETH transfer using 21,000 gas units, the current cost is $0.0041 USD.

Current Network Assessment

Gas fees are normal at 0.09298 GWEI, near the 24h average. IPI: 46/100. Good time to send — gas is 36% below the hourly average. The 24-hour average fee of 0.11258 GWEI compares to a 7-day average of 0.16412 GWEI and 30-day average of 0.54437 GWEI, placing current fees below the medium-term trend.
