How It Works

Compare total trade cost across Ethereum L1, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Solana.

BestDapps provides client-side, privacy-preserving calculators designed to give decentralized finance traders, yield farmers, and stakers accurate financial models without connecting a wallet or transmitting sensitive data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are small swaps cheaper on L2 rollups?

Layer 2 rollups bundle thousands of transactions into cryptographic proofs or blob data on Ethereum, cutting gas fees by 95%–99% while inheriting Ethereum security.
