Engineering tools for people who pay gas.
Gauge was built because every engineer who has ever paid gas has experienced the same thing: you pay, you have no idea why it cost what it cost, and you have no way to know if you could have paid less. Gas pricing is algorithmic and public — the data exists, the logic is documented — yet the experience of transacting on-chain remains opaque to most users. That is a solved problem waiting for a product.
We are a small team of engineers building for engineers. Our customers are on-chain operators: DeFi participants, protocol developers, institutional desks, and individual traders who do meaningful volume and understand that gas costs are a real operational expense. We do not build for casual users who transact once a year. We build for people who care about basis points.
The mission is legibility. On-chain cost data is public and rich. We make it readable, actionable, and integrated into your workflow — whether that means checking the heatmap before a large swap, receiving an alert when fees cross your threshold, or reviewing your historical gas spend by contract and time period. Every feature we ship is in service of one idea: you should always know what you are paying and why.
Gauge is a gas analytics platform. The core product is real-time monitoring of base fee and priority fee conditions across Ethereum mainnet and the major Layer 2 networks — Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. We source data from multiple RPC providers and reconcile it against block explorer data to give you a reliable, aggregated view of network conditions as they stand right now.
Beyond real-time data, Gauge provides historical gas analysis, transaction timing recommendations derived from 90-day rolling averages by hour-of-week, and configurable alerts. The wallet analysis feature takes any public Ethereum address and produces a complete breakdown of historical gas expenditure: total spent, cost by contract, most expensive transactions, and an estimate of what you could have saved by timing differently. No wallet connection is required. We read public on-chain data only.
Gauge is a team of six, fully distributed, registered in Estonia. We have no external investors. We ship.
Gauge is self-funded. We have no external investors. We are a small team that ships.
This is a deliberate choice. External capital introduces external priorities. We are not optimizing for growth metrics or a fundraising narrative. We are optimizing for a product that the people who use it find genuinely useful. That constraint keeps us honest.
Gauge Analytics OÜ is incorporated in Estonia, European Union. Our registered office is at Pärnu mnt 22, 10141 Tallinn, Estonia (Estonian Business Registry code 16742983). The team is distributed — Tallinn is our legal home, not our daily office. We operate remotely across European time zones, with some overlap into US East Coast hours.
