Building an Ethereum Gas Tracker With Infura: A Guide
Too Long; Didn't Read
Gas and gas price is a unit that measures the amount of computational effort required to carry out a specific operation on the Ethereum network. Gas prices tend to fluctuate wildly on public blockchains, especially Ethereum, and the way to compute it has also changed drastically since its inception. In the first part, we’ll create a node script that extracts the gas price history of the last five blocks every time a new block is mined. We then deploy a React app that builds on top of the script created in part one. This app will act as a live dashboard of the base fee and utilization experienced in the last 5 blocks.
