Ethereum Gas
Gas is a unit that measures the amount of computational effort that it will take to execute certain operations. Each and every line of code in an Ethereum smart contract requires a certain amount of gas to be executed.
Suppose you are going on a road trip:
- You go to the gas station & specify how much gas you want to fill up in your car.
- You get that gas-filled up in your car.
- You pay the gas station the amount of money you owe them for the gas.
In Ether world:
- Driving the car is the smart contract.
- The gas is well….gas.
- The gas station is your miner.
- The paid money is miner fees.

Gas Limits & Gas Price
To get an operation done in Ethereum, the sender of the transaction must specify a gas limit before they submit it to the network & a gas price:
- The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas the sender is willing to pay for this transaction. If an operation has LOW gas, ...
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
Ether is made of a blockchain (an immutable database) and a world decentralised computer (EVM), a virtual machine in which all the smart contracts function in Ethereum.
The EVM is a simple yet powerful Turing Complete 256-bit virtual machine. Turing Complete means that given the re...
