# Gas Cost Reference
[Back to Syscalls](/internals/syscalls)
All registered embedded-runtime syscalls sorted by gas cost, grouped into cost tiers.
## Tier 1 — 1 GAS unit
Metadata reads, logging, and iterator traversal. Cheap and safe to call frequently.
| `System.Storage.GetContext` | Storage |
| `System.Storage.GetReadOnlyContext` | Storage |
| `System.Storage.AsReadOnly` | Storage |
| `System.Runtime.GetTrigger` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.Platform` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetNetwork` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetAddressVersion` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetTime` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetScriptContainer` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetExecutingScriptHash` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetCallingScriptHash` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetEntryScriptHash` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.LoadScript` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetInvocationCounter` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.Log` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.Notify` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetNotifications` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GasLeft` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.BurnGas` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.CurrentSigners` | Runtime |
| `System.Runtime.GetMsgValue` | Runtime |
| `System.Iterator.Next` | Iterator |
| `System.Iterator.Value` | Iterator |
## Tier 2 — 10 GAS units
Contract interaction syscalls.
| `System.Contract.Call` | Contract |
| `System.Contract.GetCallFlags` | Contract |
| `System.Contract.CreateStandardAccount` | Contract |
| `System.Contract.CreateMultisigAccount` | Contract |
## Tier 3 — 50 GAS units
| `System.Runtime.GetRandom` | Runtime |
## Tier 4 — 100 GAS units
Storage read, delete, and search operations.
| `System.Storage.Get` | Storage |
| `System.Storage.Delete` | Storage |
| `System.Storage.Find` | Storage |
## Tier 5 — 200 GAS units
| `System.Runtime.CheckWitness` | Runtime |
## Tier 6 — 1,000 GAS units
Storage writes and cryptographic verification. The most expensive operations.
| `System.Storage.Put` | Storage |
| `System.Crypto.CheckSig` | Crypto |
| `System.Crypto.CheckMultisig` | Crypto |
::: info Gas Accuracy
The neo-devpack-solidity embedded runtime tracks syscall gas costs with static approximation tables. The primary gaps are in storage pricing (which depends on the dynamic `Policy.getStoragePrice()` value on mainnet) and opcode-level metering. Always perform final gas estimation against a Neo N3 testnet node before mainnet deployment.

::: warning LoadScript
`System.Runtime.LoadScript` is present in the syscall registry for Neo N3 surface parity, but the embedded runtime rejects it at execution time. Use `System.Contract.Call` for inter-contract calls.
