The Beginning of Realtime. The promise of the decentralized internet is speed, efficiency, and open access. Yet, today's users are still stuck waiting—stuck with 12-second block times, unpredictable transaction costs, and the constant friction of gas fees. This latency is the single biggest barrier to mass adoption. **ETHGas is the real-time infrastructure layer that fixes this.** We are not just another protocol; we are building the infrastructure layer and foundational financial market for Ethereum's blockspace. We transform the chaotic, unpredictable auction for transaction inclusion into a structured, liquid, and tradable asset class. ETHGas serves everyone who touches Ethereum blockspace: * **Validators & Node Operators**: sell your blockspace forward and convert uncertain MEV into contracted, recurring revenue, with superior yields and none of the operational complexity. * **Institutions**: transact onchain with settlement certainty, fair ordering, compliance controls, and known, onshore validators. * **Traders & Searchers**: buy preconfirmations for guaranteed inclusion and trade blockspace as an asset. * **Protocols & dApps**: build on 100ms Realtime Blocks and give your users instant, reliable execution. * **Wallets & Order Flow:** reserve capacity and guarantee settlement for instant transactions and predictable gas. * **Agents:** settle agent-driven transactions in realtime with x402 agentic preconfirmations. * **Retail Users:** reclaim a share of the gas you spend through Open Gas rebates. ### **Our Mission** 💪 To build the **realtime infrastructure** for Ethereum's economy. We transform gas from a volatile friction point into a tradable asset class while removing the concept of gas from the user experience. ### **The Future We Create** 🪄 We are accelerating the Ethereum of the Future to make it instant—a future where transactions settle immediately, capital flows without friction, and the complexity of gas becomes a relic of the past. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ethgas.com/overview/our-vision-realtime-ethereum.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
