What is Ethereum Unit Converter?
Ethereum Unit Converter helps you convert between different denominations of Ethereum (ETH). The smallest unit is Wei, and the most common units are Gwei (used for gas prices) and Ether (the main currency unit).
This tool is essential for anyone working with Ethereum transactions, smart contracts, or calculating gas fees.
Ethereum Units Explained

What is Wei in Ethereum?
Wei is the smallest denomination of Ether, named after Wei Dai, a cryptographer. 1 Ether = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei (10¹⁸ Wei).
What is Gwei and why is it important?
Gwei (Gigawei or Shannon) is commonly used to denote gas prices on Ethereum. 1 Gwei = 1,000,000,000 Wei (10⁹). Gas prices are typically displayed in Gwei because it provides a convenient middle ground between Wei and Ether.
How do I calculate gas fees?
Gas fees are calculated by multiplying gas used by gas price (in Gwei). For example: 21,000 gas × 50 Gwei = 1,050,000 Gwei = 0.00105 ETH. This converter helps you convert between these units easily.
Why are Ethereum units named after people?
Many Ethereum units are named after pioneers in cryptography and computer science: Wei Dai (Wei), Charles Babbage (Kwei), Ada Lovelace (Mwei), Claude Shannon (Gwei), Nick Szabo (Szabo), and Hal Finney (Finney).
Common Conversion Examples
- 1 Ether = 1,000,000,000 Gwei
- 50 Gwei = 0.00000005 Ether (typical gas price)
- 21,000 gas × 100 Gwei = 0.0021 ETH (standard transfer fee)
- 1 Gwei = 1,000,000,000 Wei
