What Is the Difference between ‘Gas Limit’ and ‘Gas Price’?

The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas a user is willing to spend on a transaction; it prevents runaway code execution. The gas price is the amount of Ether (in Gwei) the user is willing to pay per unit of gas.

A higher gas price can incentivize validators to process the transaction faster, while the limit caps the total cost.
