Introduction

Most Ethereum layer 2 solutions come with two types of fees: the Layer 1 (L1) fee and the Layer 2 (L2) fee. Right now, MetaMask can only estimate L2 fees and doesn't consider L1 fees. Interestingly, due to the high gas costs on Ethereum, the L1 data fee often ends up being the main contributor to the total transaction cost. This situation can take many L2 users by surprise, leaving them feeling confused and frustrated when they end up paying more than they expected. This MetaMask Snap (extension) provides a clear preview of the fees you'll face before you confirm your transaction.
