Network Congestion Overlay

WHAT IT DOES Network Congestion Overlay watches the current DeFi page for the user's wallet address, reads current gas prices and network congestion data (gas price, block utilization, pending transactions) from the blockchain via eth_gasPrice and eth_getBlockByNumber, calculates the optimal gas price for different transaction speeds (slow, standard, fast), monitors congestion trends over time, and displays an overlay with gas price recommendations, congestion level, and execution recommendations when network congestion is high or optimal transaction timing is detected. The tool connects to the user's wallet via window.ethereum, reads current gas prices and block data, calculates recommended gas prices for different transaction speeds, monitors congestion trends, and provides recommendations. WHERE IT RUNS The tool runs as a panel inside your browser on DeFi pages at https://app.uniswap.org/*, https://app.gmx.io/*, and https://app.aave.com/*. It works on Uniswap, GMX, and Aave pages where users may execute transactions. The tool connects to your real EVM wallet extension (MetaMask, WalletConnect, or any wallet injecting window.ethereum) to read on-chain data via eth_call and the ethers library loaded at runtime. No data is sent to any external server; all reads happen directly from the blockchain through your wallet provider. HOW TO USE Install the BotGentz extension, navigate to Uniswap, GMX, or Aave with your wallet connected, and open the Network Congestion Overlay panel. Select your preferred transaction speed from the dropdown — Slow, Standard, or Fast — to control the recommended gas price. Set your gas price alert threshold in Gwei (default 50) — the tool will alert you when gas prices exceed this value. Choose your alert preference — Panel only, Browser notification, or Both. Toggle "Auto-check on page load" if you want the tool to analyze automatically when you open the panel. Click "Monitor Network" — the tool reads current gas prices and block data, calculates recommended gas prices for different speeds, determines the congestion level, and displays a comprehensive analysis with recommendations. When network congestion is high or gas prices exceed the configured threshold, the tool triggers alerts with gas price recommendations and congestion levels. The network monitor updates automatically every 15 seconds. Click "Refresh" to manually update the congestion data. MECHANISM — NETWORK CONGESTION DETECTION WITH GAS PRICE OPTIMIZATION This tool uses a network congestion detection engine that reads on-chain data and provides gas price recommendations. The system first connects to window.ethereum and requests the user's wallet address. It reads the current gas price via eth_gasPrice and fetches the latest block data via eth_getBlockByNumber to calculate block utilization. The tool calculates recommended gas prices for different transaction speeds using a formula based on the current gas price: slow = currentGas * 0.8, standard = currentGas * 1.0, fast = currentGas * 1.4. The congestion level is determined using a tiered system: Low (100 Gwei). The urgency classification also considers whether the gas price exceeds the configured threshold. Recommendations are generated based on the congestion level and speed preference, helping users time their transactions for optimal gas costs. THE PANEL The BotGentz panel is fully draggable, allowing you to position it anywhere on your screen without obstructing the DeFi interface. It includes per-site position memory, so the panel returns to your preferred location each time you visit the exchange. Snap-to-edge functionality lets you dock the panel to any side of the browser window. The panel collapses to a compact icon when not in use and expands with a single click. You can resize it to your preferred dimensions, and pressing the Escape key instantly closes the panel. All interactions are smooth and intuitive, designed to work alongside your DeFi workflow. PLEASE NOTE This tool requires the free BotGentz extension and a real EVM wallet extension (such as MetaMask) already installed in your browser. EVM chains only — currently supports Ethereum mainnet. This is a monitoring and analysis tool only — it does not execute transaction optimization automatically. The tool cannot guarantee that the displayed gas prices match the exact moment of execution due to network changes. It cannot account for gas price spikes during execution. It cannot predict future gas price movements or optimal timing. It cannot read network data from all EVM chains. It cannot read private wallet information or transaction intentions. All blockchain reads are performed directly through your wallet provider; no data is stored or transmitted beyond your browser. Websites change their layouts and content structures regularly; while we continuously update the extraction logic, some pages may require script updates. Always verify all gas prices and network conditions independently before executing any transactions based on the dashboard.
