Recover Hidden Gas Fees
From Your Wallet

The rebate model reconciles your address against historical mempool inclusion data. Under EIP-1559, every transaction pays a base fee that is burned and a priority tip that goes to the validator. When network conditions shift between the moment your transaction is broadcast and the moment it is included, the base fee you paid can exceed the base fee that was actually required. That delta — plus any recoverable MEV rebate exposure from sandwich or backrun activity in your transaction footprint — is what the estimator surfaces.

Settlement on the claim layer requires gas arbitration to reconcile your address against escrow state. That arbitration is not free. The $1.00 covers the network cost of executing the claim and is refunded alongside your rebate on the first successful settlement. It is not a service charge — GasRebate Labs does not retain any portion of it.

Before estimation runs, the address is checked against a validator attestation set. Three independent validators must concur that the address meets rebate eligibility criteria — sufficient historical transaction volume, no sanctions list match, and no prior claim against the same escrow slot. Passing this check is what produces the ELIGIBLE stamp on your result. Failing it ends the flow silently.

Generate a code by entering the wallet address you used for your claim. Share the resulting link with a friend. When they complete their own claim, both of you receive a 10% bonus applied to the estimated recoverable amount. Bonuses are credited at settlement and do not affect the fixed $1.00 processing fee.

We query the Ethereum Name Service for a reverse record associated with your address. If a primary name is registered, it is displayed alongside your estimate so you can confirm the correct wallet was scanned before proceeding.

The estimator queries multiple RPC providers behind a load balancer. If the primary node times out or returns a malformed response, the request is automatically retried against a backup provider. This adds a few seconds to the scan but does not affect accuracy.

Each epoch allocates a fixed pool of rebate slots to keep settlement latency predictable. When the pool is exhausted, new claims queue for the following epoch, which can add up to 24 hours to disbursement.

Settlement cost is denominated in the receive network’s native gas, which fluctuates with congestion. When base fees climb, the arbitration cost of completing your claim rises with them. The processing fee is held fixed at $1.00 for the current epoch.

The receive network is independent of the network being scanned. Choose the chain where you want the recovered balance settled. Settlement fees are deducted from the recovered amount, so networks with lower fee markets generally result in a larger net payout.

Disbursement runs over the escrow reconciliation standard our processor uses, and Trust Wallet is currently the only provider that has implemented it. This is a temporary limitation.

If you submit an address held in another provider, your estimate is still calculated and remains valid. Disbursement, however, cannot be completed until the address is held in a supported wallet.

Rebates accrue at the protocol level, not inside your wallet application. Wallet UIs surface balances, not unclaimed fee deltas. Until claimed, the balance sits in escrow, indexed to your address but not attributed to it in any consumer-facing interface.

GasRebate Labs is a non-custodial estimator. We never take possession of funds, never request a private key or seed phrase, and never ask for a signature. The connection is TLS 1.3 encrypted and independently audited. Every estimate is deterministic: run the same address twice and you will receive the same figure, because the calculation is a fixed function of on-chain data — not a random number.

Most claims settle within 24 hours of the processing fee clearing. During periods of network congestion, settlement can take up to 72 hours. If settlement has not completed within 72 hours, contact support with your transaction hash.

Never. GasRebate Labs is non-custodial. The estimator reads public on-chain data only. The claim fee is settled from a separate processing wallet and does not require access to your keys. If any service asks for your seed phrase, it is not us.
