Accurately estimate gas costs for transactions to ensure reliable execution without overpaying.
Setup EVM Libraries First
Wagmi is not available on React Native. Use Ethers.js or Viem for EVM operations.
Estimate Gas for a Transaction
import { ethers } from "ethers";
async function estimateGas(
provider: ethers.Provider,
to: string,
value: string,
data?: string,
maxFeePerGas?: string,
maxPriorityFeePerGas?: string
) {
const tx = {
to,
value: ethers.parseEther(value),
data: data || "0x",
...(maxFeePerGas ? { maxFeePerGas: ethers.parseUnits(maxFeePerGas, "gwei") } : {}),
...(maxPriorityFeePerGas ? { maxPriorityFeePerGas: ethers.parseUnits(maxPriorityFeePerGas, "gwei") } : {})
};
const gasEstimate = await provider.estimateGas(tx);
return gasEstimate;
}
import { parseEther, parseGwei } from "viem";
async function estimateGas(
publicClient: PublicClient,
account: Account | `0x${string}`,
to: `0x${string}`,
value: string,
