What are sats, gwei and lamports?

Sats, gwei and lamports.

The short version

Each network counts in tiny units so amounts stay precise. One bitcoin is 100 million satoshis (sats), one ether is a billion gwei, one SOL is a billion lamports and one TRX is a million sun. You will mostly meet them in fees and technical details.

Worth remembering

Tiny units let networks represent precise amounts.
