Gas Limit

The Gas Limit is the maximum amount of computational effort, measured in units of gas, that a user is willing to spend on a single transaction or smart contract execution on a blockchain network like Ethereum, serving as a critical mechanism to prevent infinite loops and manage network congestion. By setting this ceiling, the user defines the upper bound of the transaction fee, calculated as the Gas Limit multiplied by the Gas Price, thereby controlling the maximum cost and complexity of the operation.
