Transactions

Transactions are cryptographically signed instructions from accounts. An account will initiate a transaction to update the state of the blockchain network. Transactions always originate from an externally owned account (a smart contract can not initiate a transaction). Transactions, which change the state of the EVM, need to be broadcast to the whole network. Any node can broadcast a request for a transaction to be executed on the EVM; after this happens, a validator will execute the transaction and propagate the resulting state change to the rest of the network.

Transaction Fees

For detailed metrics on transaction fees in native tokens and USD, including average transfer costs, see Metrics.

Transaction fees on Ethereum can be calculated based on the transaction type. After EIP-4844, there are two components to consider:

Calldata Fee: This is the basic transaction fee

Calldata Fee = (receipt_gas_used * receipt_effective_gas_price) / 1e18 ETH

Blob Fee: This only applies to transactions of type 3 (post EIP-4844)

Blob Fee = (receipt_blob_gas_used * receipt_blob_gas_price) / 1e18 ETH

The total transaction fee is the sum of these components:

Total Fee = Calldata Fee + Blob Fee

Note that for pre-EIP-4844 transactions, only the Calldata Fee applies.

Table Columns

Several columns may only be applicable for specific EVM-compatible blockchains. The list of columns present in the table is not exhaustive. Unique Key: hash

Column Name	Description
block_number	The length of the chain, in blocks.
block_timestamp	The time when the block that contains this transaction was included on the blockchain.
block_hash	Unique identifier of the block that includes this transaction.
hash	Unique identifier of a transaction.
nonce	The transaction nonce, unique to the wallet
transaction_index	The position of this transaction in the block that it belongs to. The first transaction has index 0.
from_address	The address of the sending party of this transaction.
to_address	The address of the receiving party of this transaction (could be a contract address).
value	The amount of ether sent in this transaction, in wei.
gas	The maximum amount of gas allocated for this transaction in wei.
gas_price	Cost per unit of gas specified by the transaction in wei. The higher the gas price, the higher chance of getting included in a block.
input	The data send along with the transaction.
max_fee_per_gas	The maximum fee per gas that the transaction sender is willing to pay for this transaction (introduced in EIP1559)
max_priority_fee_per_gas	The maximum fee per gas the transaction sender is willing to give to validators (Proof of Stake) or miners (Proof of Work) to incentivize them to include their transaction (introduced in EIP1559)
receipt_cumulative_gas_used	The total amount of gas used when this transaction was executed in the block.
receipt_effective_gas_price	The sum of the base fee and tip paid per unit of gas.
receipt_contract_address	The contract address created, if the transaction was a contract creation, otherwise null.
receipt_root	Transaction stateroot (pre Byzantium)
receipt_status	Success status of the transaction. Either 1 (success) or 0 (failure).
log_count	Number of event logs emitted in the transaction.
transaction_type	The integer of the transaction type, 0x0 for legacy transactions, 0x1 for access list types, 0x2 for dynamic fees.
_created_at	Timestamp of the entry creation.
_updated_at	Timestamp of the entry update.
