What is gas on Ethereum?

in steemit •  3 years ago 

The charge or pricing value, necessary to complete a transaction or execute a contract on the
Ethereum blockchain is referred to as gas. It is used to distribute resources of the Ethereum virtual
machine so that decentralized applications such as smart contracts may self-execute in a safe but
decentralized manner. It is priced in tiny fractions of the ether cryptocurrency, usually referred to as
gwei. Having a different unit, for this reason, allows for a clear difference between the
cryptocurrency's (Ethereum) actual worth and the computational cost of utilizing Ethereum's virtual
machine.
These fees are designed to reward Ethereum miners for the time and energy it takes to validate a
transaction, as well as to provide a layer of security to the Ethereum network by making it
prohibitively expensive for bad users to spam it. Supply and demand between network miners, who
can refuse to execute a transaction if the gas price falls below their threshold, and network users
searching for processing capacity govern the real price. Gas costs are established by miners
depending on supply and demand for the network's processing capacity, which is required to
perform smart contracts and other transactions.
