Gas

The fee required to perform a transaction or execute a contract on the Ethereum network.

Every operation on Ethereum — a transfer, a swap, a contract deployment — consumes gas, paid in ETH. Fees rise with network congestion, which is why many apps also use cheaper networks or Layer 2 rollups.
