ETH Unit Converter

Convert between Wei, Gwei, and Ether instantly.

Base unit. 1 ETH = 10^18 Wei

Usually used for Gas. 1 Gwei = 10^9 Wei

Smallest unit. 1 Wei = 10^-18 ETH

What is an ETH Unit Converter?

The ETH Unit Converter is a developer utility for translating values between the various denominations of Ether (Ethereum's native currency). While 1 Ether is the standard trading unit, the blockchain itself operates on 'Wei'β€”the smallest possible unit.

Ethereum uses an 18-decimal system. This means 1 Ether = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Wei (10^18). Handling numbers this large manually leads to frequent errors, which can be catastrophic in smart contract development.

The three most common units are: Ether (for general value), Gwei (Giga-wei, 10^9 Wei) used almost exclusively for Gas prices, and Wei (10^0) used in solidity code. A user might pay '0.01 ETH', but the code sees '10000000000000000 Wei'. This tool provides a safe sandwich layer to convert between them instantly without moving decimal points in your head.

1How to Use

  • Enter a value in any box (e.g., type '1' in the Ether box).
  • The tool instantly calculates the Gwei and Wei equivalents.
  • Copy the resulting value (e.g., for use in Remix or Metamask).
  • Try entering a Gas price (e.g., '50' Gwei) to see its Wei cost.

β˜…Key Features

  • Bi-Directional Sync: Updating any field (Wei, Gwei, ETH) automatically updates the others.
  • BigInt Precision: Uses JavaScript BigInt to handle 18+ digit numbers without scientific notation errors.
  • Gas Price Ready: Quickly convert Gwei gas prices to ETH cost.
  • Smart Contract Safe: Generates exact Wei strings perfect for pasting into Solidity constructor arguments.
