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, then the miners won’t even pick it up because it doesn’t have enough gas to finish the computation.
  • The price is the amount of gas the sender is willing to pay. If an operation has LOW fees, then it might have just enough gas to cover it but still, the miners won’t be chomping at the bits to pick it up because an operation with low fees isn’t economically appealing for them.

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.

    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...

    Ethereum as electricity

    If bitcoin is digital gold, Ethereum is alike the power grid, powering an ecosystem of worldwide decentralized applications

    The gas is the metering system for the consumed power. And ETH is the currency used to pay for running the software and maintaining the network.

    Ethereum Gas is EXPENSIVE

    When two numbers are added a million times in Ethereum it costs ~$26.55 in fees. On Amazon AWS system it costs $0.000000066.

    This means that computation in Ethereum is 400 million times more expensive!

    However:

    • A well-written contract would likely move such...
