How fees work on BNB Smart Chain
Gas on BNB Smart Chain is paid in BNB and quoted in gwei. The chain is EVM compatible, so it measures work in gas units the way Ethereum does. The total cost is the gas used multiplied by the gas price you pay. The fee model differs from Ethereum mainly in how the base fee and burning are handled, which is set out in two BNB Evolution Proposals, BEP-226 and BEP-95.
BEP-226 brought EIP-1559 style transactions to BNB Smart Chain, but with one key change: the base fee is set to 0 and does not adjust with congestion. Because the base fee is always zero, the max priority fee and the max fee in a Type 2 transaction are effectively the same value. None of the gas price goes to a burned base fee.
Burning on BNB Smart Chain comes from BEP-95 instead of EIP-1559. At the end of each block, validators call the deposit function of the ValidatorSet system contract at address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001000, and a share of the block's gas fees is sent to a burn address. BEP-95 set the initial burn ratio at 10%. Under BEP-95 the ratio is a governable parameter that validators change through a proposal and vote.
Since the base fee is fixed at 0 and BEP-226 disables the checks that track gas use over time, the price you pay does not climb automatically after full blocks the way it does on Ethereum. BEP-95 sends the fee that is not burned to system contracts: 1/16 to the System Reward contract while it holds less than 100 BNB, and the rest to the ValidatorSet contract, which holds fees for validators and delegators.
With no base fee to track, the gas price your wallet suggests is the main input for normal transfers. Raise it only when a transaction is stuck or when timing matters.

How we measure BNB Smart Chain gas
Every 5 minutes our server calls eth_feeHistory for the last 20 blocks on a live public BNB Smart Chain RPC endpoint (last: api.zan.top). Slow, standard and fast are the next block’s base fee plus the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of priority tips paid in those blocks. Block use: 16% of the gas target on average.

BNB Smart Chain gas FAQ
What is the current BNB Smart Chain gas price?
At the last check the standard gas price on BNB Smart Chain was 0.050 gwei (base fee 0.0000 gwei plus a priority tip). It updates every 5 minutes.
What is gwei?
Gwei is a billionth of one BNB. Gas prices are quoted in gwei; your fee is gas used × gas price.
Why do gas prices change?
On EIP-1559 networks the base fee rises when blocks are fuller than the target and falls when they are emptier, so busy periods cost more.
How do you get these numbers?
Every 5 minutes we call eth_feeHistory for the last 20 blocks on a live public RPC endpoint. Slow, standard and fast are the next base fee plus the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of priority tips paid in those blocks.
