As mentioned in gas fee burn and gas price reduction announcement, the gas price will be reduced on Klaytn Baobab and Cypress networks in May. The adjusted price will be effective for each network after the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) transaction sorting algorithm has been adopted with the Klaytn v1.8.3 upgrade. The gas fee burn policy will remain the same.
Adjusted gas price
- 250 ston
Gas fee burn policy (short-term)
- The net difference (250 ston — 25 ston = 225 ston) will be burned by getting sent to the burn address `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead`.
- The burned gas fees will be publicly announced via Medium on a regular basis
*The short-term policy remains in place until a new gas fee burn mechanism is introduced.

Notice for DApp developers
- DApps should adjust the gas price to 250 ston or use the return value of `klay_gasPrice` API. Otherwise the transaction cannot be submitted to the network. An error may occur if the source code includes a hard-coded logic related to the gas price.
- The transaction pool will be flushed once the gas price change takes effect on a node.
Notice for MetaMask Users (Not applicable to Kaikas users)
- Please set the fixed gas price to 250 Gwei (ston) in the MetaMask settings (Reference: MetaMask user guide in Klaytn Docs)
