Reads the chain's latest block, derives the EIP-1559 base fee, suggests safe-low / standard / fast priority-fee tiers with a total recommended maxFeePerGas, and converts the cost to USD for common transactions (transfer, ERC-20 transfer, Uniswap swap, NFT mint). Use it as a gas price API, EIP-1559 fee estimator, etherscan-gas alternative, or pre-transaction cost calculator.","price":"$0.02","method":"POST","input_schema":{"properties":{"chain":{"type":"string","enum":["base","ethereum","optimism","arbitrum","polygon"],"description":"EVM L1/L2 to read gas from.
