How gas pricing works on Monad and how it differs from Ethereum. Monad charges gas based on gas_limit (not gas used), has a different base fee controller, and different block gas limits. Fetch this skill whenever writing smart contracts, setting gas limits, estimating gas, or building any transaction-related UI on Monad incorrect gas handling can cost users real money.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Monad's gas pricing is EIP-1559 compatible but differs from Ethereum in critical ways. If you're building apps that submit transactions, estimate gas, or display gas costs, you need to understand these differences. ## Key Difference: Monad Charges on Gas Limit, Not Gas Used On Ethereum, users pay for the gas actually consumed by their transaction. On Monad, users pay based on the **gas limit** they set: ``` gas_paid = gas_limit * price_per_gas ``` This exists because Monad uses asynchronous execution — block leaders build blocks before executing them, so actual gas consumption isn't known at inclusion time. This prevents DOS attacks where transactions claim cheap gas but consume expensive computation. **What this means for developers:** - Setting an unnecessarily high gas limit directly costs users more MON. - Always set tight, accurate gas limits especially for transactions with known fixed costs. - For native MON transfers, the gas cost is always 21,000. Hardcode this instead of relying on `eth_estimateGas`. ## EIP-1559 Transaction Pricing Monad uses type 2 (EIP-1559) transactions: ``` price_per_gas = min(base_price_per_gas + priority_price_per_gas, max_price_per_gas) …

How to install
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/gas@sha256:58a2e76fbbad3776The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.a11e43d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
