  Wei is the smallest unit of Ether, the cryptocurrency used on the Ethereum blockchain. It is named after Wei Dai, a computer scientist and cryptography enthusiast. To calculate wei, you need to understand that 1 Ether is equal to 10^18 wei. So, if you have 0.5 Ether, you would multiply it by 10^18 to get the equivalent in wei. In this case, it would be 5 x 10^17 wei. Remember, wei is used for very small transactions and is not commonly used in everyday transactions.
