eth_gasPrice
https://triport.io/rpc/bscReturn the current gas-price estimate.
eth_gasPrice returns the selected node's current gas-price estimate as an EVM hex quantity denominated in wei per gas.
Use it as a simple fee input for callers that do not need a historical distribution. Decode the quantity before presenting it in another denomination.
This is a point estimate, unlike eth_feeHistory, which returns a block window and reward percentiles. eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas returns only a priority-fee estimate.
Parameters
JSON-RPC params must be an empty array: [].
