Gas Price

The amount a user is willing to pay per unit of gas for a blockchain transaction. On Ethereum post-EIP-1559, gas price consists of a base fee (burned) and a priority fee (tip to validators). Higher gas prices get transactions processed faster during network congestion. Measured in gwei (1 gwei = 0.000000001 ETH).
