Monthly Research Key Data – ETH Gas Price Rose by 14.4%

Key data

  • The number of tokens created on EVM networks decreased by 44% on average in April, compared to March.
  • The average number of daily transactions on the Ethereum network decreased by 3.5% in April, compared to March.
  • The average ETH gas price rose by 14.4% in April, compared to March.

From April 1, 2022, to April 30, 2022, 191,596 new blocks were created, compared to 199,275 on March 1, 2022, through March 31, 2022.

An average of 6,386 blocks were created each day in April, which was a 0.6% decrease from March at 6,428 blocks.

For the April period, 2,963,716,140,185 gas was spent (average of 98,790,538,006 daily), while in March 3,084,394,909,144 gas was spent (average of 99,496,609,972 daily) – a difference of only 0.71%.

The average number of daily transactions decreased by 3.5%. In April, 33,602,162 transactions were completed (about 1,120,072 transactions daily), whereas 35,997,278 were completed in March (about 1,161,203 transactions daily).

The average Ethereum gas price was 47.77 GWEI in March and 54.67 GWEI in April – an increase of 14.4% over the month.

To sum up, 0.71% less gas was spent in April than in March, but the average gas price rose by 14.4%, while 0.6% fewer new blocks were created, and the number of transactions decreased by 3.5%.

See the chart below for the daily gas price in March and April 2022.

What does this data tell us?

The amount of the gas fee is variable, set by the miners based on current supply and demand. The cost of Ethereum gas depends on several factors.

  • Current gas demand
  • The need for computing power to process smart contracts
  • Total number of transactions
  • Complexity of calculations when performing smart contracts’ functions

Based on this, we can conclude that most likely users on the network spent more time interacting with more resource-intensive, complex transactions in smart contracts – rather than simple transactions, since the number of blocks and the number of transactions decreased but the gas prices rose in April.

According to the data, the creation of new ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network decreased slightly in April – by eight percent compared to March – while BSC token creation dramatically decreased by 43.7%. But if we compare, for example, the number of tokens in the BSC testnet, we can see significant swings of 50.2% and up (88,730 in March – down to 41,186 in April).

Looking at the general trend for the total tokens created on EVM networks over the last two months, in March 2022, we saw a sharp increase in the number of tokens compared to April, especially on the BSC testnet. This is evidence of projects testing their tokens and generally having a bullish outlook, expecting growth across the board.

But in April, the expectations of market players did not pan out, with the price chart for the main cryptocurrency stagnating and starting to dip downward. If we trace the number of tokens being created on EVM networks, we can see that it depends directly on the overall mood of the market, and therefore on the Bitcoin price chart, which is continuing to drop.

The data on ERC-20 tokens created across various networks is as follows.

March

  • Ethereum – 6,673
  • BSC – 82,819
  • BSC testnet – 88,730
  • Gnosis chain (xDAI) – 307
  • Polygon – 6,517
  • Fantom – 4,567
  • Avalanche – 2,951

April

  • Ethereum – 6,133
  • BSC – 46,628
  • BSC testnet – 44,186
  • Gnosis chain (xDAI) – 498
  • Polygon – 5,450
  • Fantom – 2,620
  • Avalanche – 1,706
