# Gas

Gas is the transaction fee all web3 users must pay in order to perform activities on a blockchain.

**BitDrive** is built on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), a blockchain designed specifically for running smart-contract applications (Dapps). Unlike Ethereum, its transactions are both fast and low-cost.

Gas is used to allocate resources and the unit to measure it is gwei. On BNB Smart Chain, 1 gwei is 0.000000001 BNB.&#x20;

With an average gas price of around 6.5 gwei, sending 10 BNB should cost less than ten cents. However, this rate is subject to network conditions and market volatility.&#x20;
