What it is

Gas measures the computing work a transaction needs on Ethereum. You pay for it in ether, at a price that rises and falls with demand for block space.

It is quoted in gwei. One gwei is a billionth of an ether.

How to read it

Gas is a live reading of how busy the network is. A sudden spike during a sell-off often means people are rushing to move funds or repay loans.
