What are Gas Fees?

Gas fees are payments made to validators/miners for processing and validating transactions on a blockchain. On Ethereum, gas is measured in gwei.

How Gas Works

Gas = Gas Limit × Gas Price

The gas limit is the maximum computation units, while gas price is what you pay per unit.

Reducing Gas Costs

  • Use Layer 2 networks (Arbitrum, Optimism)
  • Time transactions during low-activity periods
  • Batch multiple operations
