Could you please elaborate on the concept of gas limit in the context of cryptocurrency transactions? I'm curious to know what it specifically refers to, how it affects the transaction process, and whether there are any consequences for setting it too high or too low? Additionally, is there a standard or recommended gas limit that should be used, or does it vary depending on the type of transaction?

Specifically, the gas limit outlines the maximum computational resources that a transaction can utilize, thereby setting a ceiling on the associated costs.

The gas price, on the other hand, represents the amount of payment a user is willing to offer per unit of computation, reflecting their willingness to prioritize their transaction.

In the Ethereum network, gas is priced in Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the platform. This pricing mechanism allows for a dynamic and market-driven approach to transaction fees.

While private and public permissioned blockchain networks do not inherently require the use of gas, they often adopt similar mechanisms to manage computational resources and transaction costs.
