ETH Unit Converter
Convert between Wei, Gwei, and ETH
1 Wei = 10⁻¹⁸ ETH
1 Gwei = 10⁻⁹ ETH = 10⁹ Wei
1 ETH = 10⁹ Gwei = 10¹⁸ Wei
1. What are Ethereum Units?
Ethereum uses different units to express amounts of Ether. The base unit is Wei, and 1 ETH equals 10¹⁸ Wei. Gwei (gigawei) is commonly used for gas prices, representing 10⁹ Wei or 10⁻⁹ ETH.
2. How does it work?
Unit conversion in Ethereum is based on powers of 10. To convert from a smaller unit to a larger one, you divide; to convert from larger to smaller, you multiply. For example, to convert Wei to ETH, divide by 10¹⁸. To convert ETH to Gwei, multiply by 10⁹. These conversions are essential for understanding transaction costs and token amounts.
Common Units
- Wei: Smallest unit (10⁻¹⁸ ETH)
- Gwei (Shannon): 10⁹ Wei (10⁻⁹ ETH) - used for gas prices
- ETH (Ether): 10¹⁸ Wei - standard unit
