Take a look here, with all ethereum units names. Smallest one is wei, as coding enthusiast mentioned

This is the wrong board, you should move to altcoins discussion

Bitcoin has a lot more than just bitcoin and bits. See full list here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Units#Table_of_all_units
Most popular are bitcoin, bits, satoshi, milli and micro bitcoin.

Ethereum has lots more as 1 ETH has 18 decimal places (10-18) and the smallest unit is called Wei!

However, most of these are unpopular and unused.

I know in BTC you have Bitcoin and bits, with a 1million to 1 ratio. What's the equivalent of that for ETH? There seems to be different names for everything being passed around.
