The concept of "gas" is derived from its analogy to the fuel required to keep a vehicle operational. It serves as a metaphor for the energy or resources needed to execute transactions on the blockchain.

Many blockchain users find gas fees to be an unexpected expense. These fees can vary greatly and are often influenced by factors such as network congestion and demand for computing power.
