    Sats, short for satoshis, are the smallest unit of Bitcoin. They are named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Sats are used to measure and transact smaller amounts of Bitcoin. For example, if you want to send someone 0.0001 Bitcoin, you can say you're sending them 10,000 sats. It's a way to make Bitcoin more accessible and user-friendly, especially for newcomers who may find it easier to understand and work with smaller units.
