eth_estimateGas - Mantle RPC Method

Estimates the gas necessary to execute a transaction on Mantle.

Why Mantle? Build on the world's largest ZK rollup by TVL with $2.5B+ secured and deep Bybit integration with near-instant ZK finality via OP Succinct, $6.2B treasury backing, mETH liquid staking, and 25% Bybit trading fee discounts.

Use Cases

The eth_estimateGas method is essential for:

• Transaction preparation - Set appropriate gas limits
• Cost estimation - Calculate transaction costs before sending
• Error detection - Identify reverts before spending gas
• DeFi operations - Estimate costs for liquid staking (mETH $1.87B TVL), institutional DeFi via Bybit, and yield optimization strategies
