The gas market refers to the economic system governing the price of transaction fees, known as ‘gas’, on a blockchain network. Gas is required to execute operations or smart contracts on the ledger, and its price fluctuates based on network demand and computational resources available. This market mechanism determines the cost for users to interact with the blockchain.
Context
News concerning the gas market is particularly relevant for users of networks like Ethereum, where transaction fees can become substantial during periods of high network activity. Understanding gas price dynamics is essential for predicting transaction costs, assessing network congestion, and evaluating the economic feasibility of various decentralized applications.
