What Is Gas?

Gas is the unit used to measure how much work a transaction asks the network to perform. Simple ICBX transfers use less gas than complex contract interactions. You pay for gas in ICBX.

Fee basics

• Gas limit — maximum units you allow the transaction to consume
• Gas used — actual units consumed after execution
• Gas price / fee market — how much ICBX you pay per unit (varies by network rules and demand)
• Total fee ≈ gas used × effective gas price

Why transactions fail with “out of gas”

If the gas limit is too low for the work required, execution stops and the transaction fails — but a fee may still be charged for the work attempted. Always review wallet estimates before confirming.
