Questions
- Why does the ETH fee on BNB Smart Chain change?
- The on-chain figure is a USDT transfer ≈ 55,000 gas × current gas price, read from BSC public RPC eth_gasPrice. 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 BNB price ($595 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 BEP-20?
- Right now: Binance 0.00002 ETH, HTX 0.0005 ETH and KuCoin 0.00048 ETH. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.018 of a 0.00002 ETH withdrawal at Binance).
- Is BNB Smart Chain the cheapest network to send ETH right now?
- Yes, by total cost (cheapest exchange withdrawal plus on-chain fee) among the 5 ETH rails with a reading: $0.020 here against $0.027 on Optimism next.
