Summary

Both ethgasstation.info and gasnow.org are no longer active as gas oracles:

  • ethgasstation.info returns HTTP 403 (service shut down by ConsenSys in 2022)
  • gasnow.org has been repurposed as an unrelated crypto casino site

The orchestrator reward calling guide currently points readers to both, which is confusing for new orchestrators trying to price their transactions.

Fix

Replaces the dead links with two currently working gas price sources:

  • Etherscan Gas Tracker
  • Blocknative Gas Estimator

Also adds a reference to the OpenChainBench gas estimation benchmark for a live comparison of gas oracle accuracy across providers, useful for picking a reliable source.

Test plan

  • Verified both dead URLs return errors or unrelated content
  • New URLs return 200 with the expected content
  • Preserves the existing bullet style
