- Gas price is moving with the market, every function that are done by the network has a price.
- maximum price that you are willing to pay.
- transaction will fail
- unused gas will be refunded, but too much gas and block gas limit will kick in and the transaction will not be executed

The overall gas cost for the transaction is calculated by adding all of the operations together.
-
This is the most gas you’re willing to pay on the transaction.
-
The transaction will execute, but after some time, the transaction will revert (cancel) because it ran out of gas. The fees spent on this low gas tx will be collected by miners and your funds stay within your wallet.
-
Any unconsumed gas will be refunded. However, it isn’t good practise to always specify a high gas limit since it is not computationally-dense for miners to want, meaning that it may exceed the gas limit for blocks, thus making your transactions revert.

Gwei is a measurement of gas price. Wei is the smallest unit of ether (being 1x10^-18) and Gwei is 1x10^-9 (as written in code).

Every operation inside a transaction on the Ethereum network requires gas to be performed and every operation has a gas price. All of the operations required has a gas price and everything adds up to the total gas cost of the transaction. If you are willing to pay a higher gas price then your transaction will most likely be prioritized and go faster.

Gas limit is the total amount of gas you are willing to pay for a transaction.
-
If the limit is set to low then the transaction will not go thru the network and the fee is kept by the miner.

It’s a maximum amount of gas that user want to spent on transaction.

When limit is too low, then transaction will not be ran fully, so not completed. But gas offered will be used during that proces. Basicly U loose money and have 0 result.
4.When limit is slightly too high and not fully consumed the extra part of it will be refunded automatically, but the blocks in ethereum have max capacity of gas, so overloading makes an empty block filled only with gas fee.
- gwei is a giga wei, so 1 billion of wei, which is smallest unit of ETH,

- How do we calculate the total gas cost for a transaction?
The total gas is a product of the computation necessary t complete the transaction.
- What is gas limit?
Gas limit is the maximum amount of gas you are willing to spend on a given operation/transaction.
- What happens if we specify a gas limit that is too low?
The transaction does not complete (ie. runs out of gas) and the gas that has been spent is kept by the miner
- What happens if we specify a gas limit that is too high and therefore not consumed fully?
You get back the unused portion however there is also a maximum gas size for all the transactions in an individual block which you cannot exceed if you want your transaction to be processed.

- You can calculate the gas fees for a transaction by summing up the costs for all the operations.
- Gas limit is the maximum amount of gas you are allowed to pay for a transaction.
- Your transaction will not be executed as it will eventually run out of gas. You will not get back the ether spent on the gas used, but since the transaction did not complete, the blockchain does not reflect a transfer, so the main funds essentially never left the wallet.
- The excess gas will be refunded.

Transaction starts to execute but stops abruptly when it run out of gas, and expended gas fee is lost while the transaction value is still intact as the blockchain does not update.

1). A collective sum of all the operations is the total gas cost.
2). The maximum amount you are willing to spend on a transaction.
3). The transaction will be executed and as the gas fee runs out the transaction fails.
4). The ether miners are allowed to manipulate the size of the blocks to get paid faster.
If the gas fee exceeds the size that the miner set in that block, then the transaction will not go through.

Gas Limit is the maximum amount of gas that you are willing to pay.

The transaction will start but then fail and any Ether spent on used gas will not be returned, although no transfer of Ether will take place because the transaction failed and was not added to the block.

Because Ethereum blocks have a gas limit size, it is probable that the transaction will stay in the Mempool as Miners will not want to deal with the transaction because it is not computationally dense enough. This is because the miners only get paid for the actual gas consumed to perform a transaction.
