Recipe #5: Track Gas Price using Chainlink⛽️🔥
This is the 5th part of our series on Recipes — a new, collaborative way to create and share your favorite triggers. Yesterday we showed you how to stay on top of withdrawals confirmations for Loopring.
Recently we’ve witnessed a surge in gas price due to the increased Ethereum adoption, mostly driven by the DeFi ecosystem:
An annoying side effect is that making transactions got a little trickier, because we need to constantly keep an eye on ETH Gas Station and alike for that sweet spot where the gas price matches what you’re willing to spend on it.
Starting today, thanks to HAL and Chainlink you can receive real-time notifications when the gas matches your desired price ⛽️ 🔥
Head over to https://9000.hal.xyz/chainlink and choose the “Track Gas Price” recipe:

You’re ready to connect your action! In this case we want to receive a Telegram message, but you can also chose Discord, Twitter, Slack or a custom webhook 😉

Click the “create” button and you’re set! You’ll get a text as soon as the gas prices matches your filter ⛽️ 🔥
