Gas fees incentivize miners and validators, prevent spam, and manage network resources. Key components include gas price, gas limit, base fee, and priority fee, with the total fee calculated as Gas Used × (Base Fee + Priority Fee). The EIP-1559 update introduced a base fee burning mechanism to control supply and reduce inflation. Prioritizing transactions depends on network demand and appropriately setting the gas parameters helps ensure smooth operations. 13 2 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/learning-to-call-smart-contract-functions-with-web3-js-vfdfsospy "Learning to Call Smart Contract Functions with Web3.js") Article Coins Bench · 2y Learning to Call Smart Contract Functions with Web3.js This post explains how to use web3.js to interact with smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It covers topics such as integrating web3.js into a project, fetching contract address and ABI, instantiating a contract, reading from a contract, and paying to a contract. It also mentions how to listen to events emitted by a smart contract. 12 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/top-smart-contract-languages-in-2024-solidity-rust-motoko-x4hzavpzx "Top Smart Contract Languages in 2024: Solidity, Rust, Motoko") Article Coins Bench · 2y Top Smart Contract Languages in 2024: Solidity, Rust, Motoko This post discusses the top smart contract languages in 2024, including Solidity, Rust, and Motoko. Solidity is favored for its simplicity but has scalability and security limitations. Rust offers security and scalability, while Motoko is highly scalable and easy to use, although it has limited adoption. 12 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/building-blocks-of-smart-contracts-libraries-in-solidity-w7robrrxu "Building Blocks of Smart Contracts: Libraries in Solidity") Article Coins Bench · 2y Building Blocks of Smart Contracts: Libraries in Solidity Solidity libraries are tools for organizing and reusing code, promoting modularity, reusability, and gas efficiency in Ethereum smart contracts. Libraries differ from standard contracts in that they don't store state variables and focus on 'pure' and 'view' functions. They can be deployed either internally or externally, the latter using delegate call for efficient updates and reduced gas costs. Examples include SafeMath for safe arithmetic operations and MerkleProof for data integrity checks. 10 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/differences-in-traditional-and-web3-blockchain-front-end-development-oquckwcab "Differences in traditional and web3/blockchain front end development") Article Coins Bench · 2y Differences in traditional and web3/blockchain front end development Differences in traditional and web3/blockchain front end development are explored, including the interaction with the back end and handling of authentication. 10 [See all Coins Bench archives](/sources/coinsbench/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/coinsbench/best-of/2024/06#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/coinsbench/best-of/2024/06","name":"Best Coins Bench Posts — June 2024","description":"The most upvoted Coins Bench posts from June 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/coinsbench/best-of/2024/06#items","numberOfItems":5,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-simple-explanation-of-ethereum-gas-and-fees-j8xzodstv","name":"A Simple Explanation of Ethereum Gas and Fees"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/learning-to-call-smart-contract-functions-with-web3-js-vfdfsospy","name":"Learning to Call Smart Contract Functions with Web3.js"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/top-smart-contract-languages-in-2024-solidity-rust-motoko-x4hzavpzx","name":"Top Smart Contract Languages in 2024: Solidity, Rust, Motoko"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/building-blocks-of-smart-contracts-libraries-in-solidity-w7robrrxu","name":"Building Blocks of Smart Contracts: Libraries in Solidity"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/differences-in-traditional-and-web3-blockchain-front-end-development-oquckwcab","name":"Differences in traditional and web3/blockchain front end development"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Coins Bench","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/coinsbench"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/coinsbench/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"June 2024"}]}]} ```
