What Is the Difference between Gas Limit and Gas Price?

The gas limit is the maximum amount of computational effort (gas units) a user is willing to allow for a transaction. The gas price is the amount of cryptocurrency (e.g.

Gwei) the user is willing to pay per unit of gas. The total transaction fee is calculated by multiplying the gas limit by the gas price.

A higher gas price can lead to faster transaction confirmation.
