Local Gas Estimation

Written by Russo • Updated: July 2025

Locanox includes a fully local gas estimator, giving users insight into approximate transaction fees even while offline. Instead of relying on remote APIs or exposing your IP to check gas prices, Locanox runs a compact estimator directly on your device. It uses cached fee data, customizable presets, and a lightweight formula to simulate likely gas requirements across various networks.

This approach allows users to plan transactions, swaps, and contract calls without needing a live internet connection. Whether you’re preparing a batch of offline transactions, building a script, or simply budgeting gas usage, Locanox gives you the privacy-first toolkit to operate confidently.

Offline estimation is never 100% real-time accurate, but it’s fast, private, and safer for those avoiding surveillance or traceable lookups.

⛽ How Local Gas Estimation Works

The local gas estimator operates through these key components:

• Cached Fee Data

Uses stored historical gas price information to provide realistic estimates without network calls.

• Customizable Presets

Allows you to set conservative, standard, or aggressive fee preferences for different transaction types.

• Lightweight Formula

Runs efficient calculations on your device to simulate gas requirements across various networks.

• Multi-Network Support

Provides estimates for Ethereum, Polygon, and other supported blockchain networks.

• Privacy-First Approach

No IP exposure or external API calls - all calculations happen locally on your device.

Benefits of Offline Gas Estimation

1. Complete Privacy: No external lookups that could reveal your transaction planning
2. Offline Planning: Budget and prepare transactions without internet connectivity
3. Fast Calculations: Instant estimates without waiting for network responses
4. Customizable Settings: Adjust fee preferences based on your urgency and budget
5. Multi-Transaction Support: Plan complex operations involving multiple transactions

While offline estimates may not reflect real-time network conditions, they provide a solid foundation for transaction planning in a completely private environment.
