Gas is the representation of the computational effort a transaction takes to be executed. Since in a blockchain each node must independently execute every transaction, it is important to limit the amount of computational effort required from the nodes. | Gas is the representation of the computational effort a transaction takes to be executed. | ||

In EVM-based blockchains each transaction has a gas cost, which is defined by its complexity and its needs for storage. | In EVM-based blockchains each transaction has a gas cost, which is defined by its complexity and its needs for storage. | ||
Each transaction has a minimum gas cost of 21.000 gas, to which is added more as the transaction gets more complicated. | Each transaction has a minimum gas cost of 21.000 gas, to which is added more as the transaction gets more complicated. |
