What are gas fees?
Definition
Gas fees are small payments required to process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum network. These fees compensate validators for their computational resources, ensuring network security and functionality.
The concept of “gas”
“Gas” represents the computational power needed to perform actions on the Ethereum network, whether sending ETH, executing smart contracts, or using decentralized applications (dApps). Each action on Ethereum requires a certain amount of gas, with more complex transactions needing more gas. Users pay gas fees in ETH, Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, with the total cost based on the gas used and the gas price at that moment.
Example
A user might need around 21,000 gas units for a basic ETH transfer. If the gas price is 50 gwei (one-billionth of one ETH), the total cost for the transaction would be 21,000 gas * 50 gwei, translating to 0.00105 ETH (depending on the current ETH price). Complex actions like interacting with DeFi protocols or NFT marketplaces might require more gas, leading to higher fees, especially during high network traffic.
