# Adaptive Gas

Abot.dog offers 3 gas strategies which continuously adapt to other transactions on the network, ensuring that Abot.dog user transactions succeed without overpaying for gas.

The **Smart** strategy is recommended for most users and chosen by default.

**What do the gas strategies mean?**

Abot.dog's gas analyzer scans the network to learn the distribution of gas prices used, and identify optimal gas price parameters. Users can choose between 3 strategies:

1. **Eco mode**: Maximizes gas saving, but may occasionally take an additional block for your transaction to be confirmed.
2. **Smart mode**: A balance between Eco and Aggressive mode. Beats most competitor's gas while not overpaying. Gets your transaction confirmed as fast as possible.
3. **Aggressive mode**: Use higher gas to frontrun and beat the competition.

**What is a Tip?**

The Ethereum network introduced the "priority fee" (i.e. tipping) with EIP-1559. Essentially, paying a tip incentivises Ethereum validators to include your transaction sooner. 

### Interface
