Questions
- Why does the ETH fee on Arbitrum One change?
- The on-chain figure is a USDT transfer ≈ 150,000 gas × current gas price, read from Arbitrum public RPC eth_gasPrice (L1 share approximated). It moves for two reasons: the network's fee market (gas, energy or priority price) rises and falls with demand, and the USD figure follows the ETH price ($2,652 when this page was built). We re-read both every 90 seconds and never fill a gap with an old number.
- What is the minimum ETH withdrawal on Arbitrum One?
- Right now: Binance 0.0003 ETH, HTX 0.005 ETH and KuCoin 0.0004 ETH. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.053 of a 0.0003 ETH withdrawal at Binance).
- Is Arbitrum One the cheapest network to send ETH right now?
- No. BNB Smart Chain is cheapest right now at $0.025 total; Arbitrum One is $0.061, rank 3 of 5. Cheapest only matters if the receiver accepts ETH on that network.
