QRL daily gas is the total EVM gas consumed by all transactions each day — the chain's compute meter, where every operation costs a set amount. Higher gas means heavier activity: contract calls and deployments cost far more than plain transfers. It's a QRL 2.0 (Proof-of-Stake, EVM) metric only — the original Proof-of-Work chain has no EVM and no gas.

FAQ about this chart
Common questions about this page+
What does the QRL daily gas chart show?
It shows the total amount of EVM gas consumed by all transactions on each day. Gas is the chain's compute meter: every operation a transaction runs costs a fixed amount of gas, so the daily total is a measure of how much computation the QRL network performed that day — not how much it cost in coins.
What drives daily gas up or down?
The kind of activity, not just the count. A plain value transfer costs a small, fixed 21,000 gas, while contract calls and contract deployments cost far more depending on the work they do. So a day with heavy smart-contract usage burns much more gas than a day with the same number of simple transfers — the gas distribution by bucket chart shows that mix.
Why is there no gas on the Proof-of-Work chain?
Gas is an EVM concept, and only QRL 2.0 (the Proof-of-Stake chain) runs the EVM. The original Proof-of-Work chain has no smart contracts — only fixed transaction subtypes — and prices transactions with a flat fee in shor rather than metering compute as gas. There is nothing to plot for the Proof-of-Work chain, so the chart shows a “QRL 2.0 only” badge.
How is daily gas different from daily transactions?
Daily transactions counts how many transactions confirmed; daily gas measures how much computation they required. Ten contract calls can consume far more gas than a hundred plain transfers, so the two lines can diverge: gas tells you the compute load behind the activity, transaction count tells you the volume.
What unit is gas measured in?
Gas is counted in raw gas units — a dimensionless measure of computational work, not a coin amount. A simple transfer is 21,000 gas; the daily total runs into the millions. To see what that work actually cost to transact, look at the fee burned and fee percentile charts, which convert demand for gas into a coin amount.
