When is gas cheapest on BNB Chain?
There is no cheap hour on BNB Chain. Over 1 week its gas price sat at 0.050 gwei around the clock — the cheapest and most expensive hours are less than 1% apart. Send whenever it suits you.
Nothing here rewards waiting: every hour of the week averaged the same fee, so the ranking below orders hours by differences smaller than the rounding in a wallet's fee estimate. If demand starts to move the price, this page will show it.
Day of week makes no difference either: weekends and weekdays pay the same 0.050 gwei.
A caveat on all of this: these figures cover 1 week of data, so each day-and-hour cell rests on only 1–2 occurrences of that hour. That is a short record: it shows the price has not moved, not that it cannot.
Right now
BNB Chain is at 0.050 gwei — about its 1-week median.
