Ethereum Gas explained

Gas is an important concept within the Web3 world. It is the virtual fuel required to execute transactions on the network. Similar to how a car needs gasoline to drive. Most public blockchains denominate these transaction fees in their native currency.

There are a few crucial aspects of using gas or transaction fees in public, permissionless networks:

  1. Every transaction published on a blockchain imposes a cost of downloading, executing and verify it. People who run a node (validators) spend time, money and effort to do this for which they are compensated. Transaction fees are rewarded to them for providing these services.
  2. A fee market allows prioritization of transactions by 'tipping' the validators for processing specific transactions more quickly.
  3. For smart contract platforms, it avoids computational waste in code, by setting a limit to how many steps of code executions it can perform within a transaction.
  4. Additionally, it prevents accidental or hostile infinite loops, e.g. denial of service ('DDoS') attacks. In a DDoS attack, an attacker tries to flood the network by spamming empty transactions. A fee market ensures that doing such attacks, for an extended period of time, to become expensive.
