Wei

The smallest unit of ether. Smart contracts and many APIs expect amounts in wei (1 ETH = 10^18 wei).

Human-readable ETH amounts are almost always converted to wei before an on-chain call. Off-by-one-zero mistakes in wei are a common cause of failed or overfunded transactions.

Use a satoshi/gwei/wei converter when you paste values between explorers, ABIs, and wallets so the scale stays obvious.
