Bitget ETH: Cheapest vs Fastest L2 — Pay 20% Less

Checked 2026-10-15

Quick answer: Bitget’s cheapest ETH network (ArbitrumOne) needs 12 confirmations; the fastest (Starknet) needs just 10 — about 1× fewer.

ETH has more withdrawal networks on Bitget than almost anything else this site tracks — 9 at last check, nearly all of them Ethereum layer-2s. With that many options, “cheapest” and “fastest” landing on two different chains isn’t surprising, but the size of the gap is worth seeing directly.

The trade-off

ArbitrumOne is the cheapest of the 9 — but Bitget waits 12 confirmations before crediting it. Starknet confirms about 1× faster, at 10 confirmations, for a somewhat higher fee. Neither number is the ETH mainnet figure — mainnet itself sits well behind both on price, which is the whole reason L2s exist for this kind of transfer.

With 9 networks to choose from, it’s worth checking your destination wallet’s supported-network list before assuming the cheapest or fastest option is even available to you — L2 support varies more between wallets than mainnet or the largest bridges do.

When this actually matters

Moving ETH you don’t need right away — the cheap option is almost always the right one. Racing a deposit deadline or a time-sensitive trade — the confirmation count is what to check, not the fee, even if it costs a little more to get there sooner.
