# Gas Platform The Blocknative Gas Platform is a set of APIs that accurately price transactions to get them on-chain faster, for less. Simply integrate the API into your protocol, dapp, wallet, or bot to get started. ## The Blocknative Difference The Gas Platform is the industry's most precise tool for predicting gas prices. Unlike other solutions relying solely on on-chain data, Blocknative leverages real-time mempool data when accessible and predictive modeling to forecast gas price distribution and the gas price required for inclusion in the next block or next ∼10 seconds, depending on the chain. Blocknative confidently prices your user's transactions for the transaction execution speed desired based on the current pressure in the mempool: * **Based on** [**quantile regression model**](https://www.blocknative.com/blog/base-fee-prediction-and-intelligent-max-fee): optimized for accurate and consistent prediction of the minimum marketable gas price for either the next block or the next ∼10 seconds, depending on the chain. * **Accurately predicting *****minimum***** gas price:** Prediction models must measure the validity of their results against the ground truth of confirmed blocks. * **Avoiding over paying:** Confidence in predicting sufficient gas price to be included in the next block must be balanced against over paying. *Our goal is to be as close as possible, but not below, the minimum gas price of the next block*. * **User control:** Since different users have different degrees of urgency for getting transactions into the next block, we provide a range of confidence levels for next-block inclusion. ## APIs Available Three gas APIs are available to integrate into your protocol, dapp, or bot: * The [Gas Price API](https://docs.blocknative.com/gas-prediction/gas-platform) provides precise, real-time calculations required for next-block or next ∼10 seconds confirmation, depending on the chain. Available for Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, SEI, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base and others. * The [Base Fee Prediction API](https://docs.blocknative.com/gas-prediction/prediction-api-base-fee-and-blob-fee) provides both type-2 base fee and type-3 blob base fee prediction 5 blocks into the future. Available for Ethereum. * The [Gas Distribution API](https://docs.blocknative.com/gas-prediction/gas-distribution-api) provides the distribution of gas prices in the mempool at that moment in time. Available for Ethereum. The use of these endpoints requires an API key.
