# Gas Alerts

**Gas Alert** is a feature that allows you to receive real-time notifications when Ethereum gas prices reach a value you define. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to save on fees or time transactions efficiently — whether you're minting NFTs, making DeFi moves, or simply waiting for the right moment to act.

### ⚙️ Key Features

* **Custom Gas Target:** Set your own gas price threshold (in Gwei).
* **Smart Notifications:** Get alerted as soon as gas hits your target.
* **Two Alert Modes:**
  * **Onetime** – Sends a single alert when gas reaches your set level, then disables automatically.
  * **Repeating** – Sends alerts every time the condition is met until you turn it off manually.

### 🚦 Gas Price Tiers Reference

* **🚀 Fast (\~30s)** – High gas price for quick confirmation. Ideal for urgent transactions.
* **🚗 Average (\~3min)** – Balanced option for cost and speed. Suitable for typical use.
* **🐢 Low (>10min)** – Low-cost, slower confirmation. Best for non-urgent actions.

By setting up a **Gas Alert**, you can optimize your transactions for **speed**, **cost-efficiency**, or both — without needing to constantly monitor the market.
