Gas is the mechanism used to pay for transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. It is used to incentivize miners to process transactions and secure the Ethereum network. Every transaction requires a certain amount of gas to be paid, and the amount of gas needed depends on the complexity of the transaction. For example, sending a transaction from one address to another requires 21,000 gas, while a smart contract deployment requires 500,000 gas.
