After GasNow, what other tools can we use to forecast ethereum Gas prices?

What are ethereum alternatives to Gas Price Forecasting tools after GasNow shutdown?

GasNow was the most dedicated data service in the Ethereum ecosystem to provide Gas price forecasts, including apps, plug-ins, apis and other tools, but the team officially shut down the service on October 16. Judging from the timing of the closure, it may be related to domestic regulatory policies.

Because GasNow aggregates memory pool data from the spark pool, it can provide relatively more accurate results than prediction tools based on historical data. As a result, GasNow's tool has been well received by the community, which has led to many people looking for similar alternatives after GasNow went offline.

On the other hand, in addition to GasNow's more accurate Gas prediction, it also provides a variety of tools to meet the needs of different users, including browser plug-ins, desktop plug-ins, mobile apps, apis, etc. Few other services offer such a wide range of tools.

I actually prefer to use their API and browser plugin because it sits next to MetaMask's wallet plugin and users can view Gas prices that can be packaged in real time without clicking GasNow, which can be filled in when using MetaMask transactions. API services are great for integrating into other custom script logic, such as when I made a script based on iOS quick instructions that clicked a shortcut button to get Gas prices.

Therefore, according to different needs, different services may need to find alternatives, including browser plug-ins, apps, apis. However, it should be noted in advance that even if these services can replace GasNow functionally, the accuracy of different tools may not be as good as GasNow due to their different data sources and calculation methods.

Browser plugin: Blocknative

Blocknative only launched the Blocknative Ethereum Gas Estimator browser plugin based on Google Chrome and Brave in September of this year. Even better, they provide Gas price estimates for both conventional and IP-1559 transactions. Previously, GasNow only provided Gas prices for conventional transactions, but the difference is not that great.

According to the team, the free version of the plugin will be updated every five seconds with price estimates provided by Blocknative via ethereum Mblockquotepool pooled into the Gas Platform API.

Mobile apps or desktop widgets: Wallets like Zerion

On the mobile end, wallet tools typically have built-in Gas data services(Mostly aggregated data from third parties)In terms of experience, Though, Zerion is one of the few apps that offers a desktop widget directly on iOS. Just add the widget to your desktop and you can check Gas prices.

However, due to the system limit on the refresh frequency of iOS desktop widgets, data updates may not be particularly timely, with a delay of minutes expected. But it's good enough to look at Gas trends.

Web: ETH Gas Station, Etherscan, OKpnk

The ability to view Gas predictions on the Web is probably the most common, but the experience may not be as good as the plug-in or application integration described above.

The web side service for finding Gas data frequently used by the Ethereum community is mainlyEtherscanandETH Gas Station.OKpnkIt is also the choice of many people.

API services: ETH Gas Station, Etherscan, Blocknative, etc

For data API services, there are even more, either for a fee or for free. One of the most commonly used isETH Gas Station,EtherscanorBlocknativeAnd so on. All of these data apis support the most common HTTP calls, which are fairly easy to call and retrieve via iOS shortcuts or Python.

But more time remains to be seen as to how accurate these services will be.
