What Is the Difference between “Gas Limit” and “Gas Price”?

The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas (computational units) a user is willing to spend on a transaction. The gas price is the cost per unit of gas, typically denominated in Gwei.

The total transaction fee is calculated as (Gas Limit) x (Gas Price). If the actual computation exceeds the limit, the transaction fails.
