# 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

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Gas Settings** can be found in the **Buy** or **Sell** menus in the Telegram bot.

{% endhint %}

* Clicking any option between **Eco**, **Smart** or **Aggr** will change your gas strategy to the option chosen.
* Clicking **Tip** prompts you to enter a custom tip amount. The tip is **added on top of** your chosen gas strategy.
* Clicking **Info** shows the **Info Summary** below.

The **Info Summary** shows the following:

1. A description of each gas strategy.
2. The tip used by each of the gas strategies, continuously updated by Abot.dog's network gas analyzer.
3. A summary of the tips used by our competitors, based off cluster analysis. This data feeds into our gas strategies.
