To calculate the gas fee for a single stablecoin transfer on the RSK (Rootstock) blockchain, you need to multiply two main factors:
Gas Fee = Gas Price × Gas Used
Gas Used – This is the fixed amount of computational steps required to execute a transfer. For a simple stablecoin transfer (ERC-20 style on RSK), it is usually around 50,000 – 65,000 gas units.
Gas Price – This is the cost per unit of gas, usually measured in Gwei (a fraction of RSK’s native token RBTC). The gas price fluctuates depending on network demand.
Conversion to RBTC – Once you multiply gas price by gas used, you get the fee in RBTC. You can then convert RBTC into USD (or any fiat currency) to know the actual cost.
Example:
If gas price = 0.06 Gwei, and gas used = 50,000,
Gas Fee = 50,000 × 0.06 Gwei = 3,000 Gwei = 0.000003 RBTC.
Thus, the exact fee will vary depending on network activity, but this method gives you the correct calculation.
For businesses creating tokens or managing transactions, a Stablecoin Development Company can help optimize contracts to reduce gas usage and ensure efficient transfers on RSK.
