Paying Gas with your Gas Station Balance

Execute transactions seamlessly across any network without needing to hold native gas tokens.

Last updated 9 days ago

Overview:

The Reah Gas Station is a unified treasury feature that allows you to pay for network fees (Gas) from a centralized balance. This eliminates the operational friction of maintaining native tokens (like ETH, TRX, or BNB) in every individual wallet before initiating a transfer.

This guide covers:

  • Payment Selection: How to choose your gas source during the final transaction review.

  • Institutional Efficiency: Executing swaps and sends even when a wallet balance is low on native tokens.

  • Executing Authorization: Initiating the approval process once your fee method is set.

  • The Gas Station Advantage: Why using a unified balance simplifies multi-chain management.

How to Pay Gas via Gas Station

When you are performing a crypto-to-crypto conversion (e.g., USDT to USDC) or sending assets to an external address, you can choose how to cover the network's processing fee.

The Selection Process:

  1. Prepare your Transaction: Navigate through the From/To and Details stages of your transfer.

  2. Review the "Confirm" Screen: On the final review page, locate the Fee Breakdown section.

  3. Select Payment Method: * From Wallet: Use this if the transacting wallet already holds enough native tokens (e.g., TRX for a TRON network transfer).

    • Gas Station: Select this to pull the fee from your shared Reah Gas Station balance instead. This is ideal if your specific wallet is low on native tokens but you need to move funds immediately.

  4. Initiate Approval: Once you’ve selected your preferred method, click Initiate Approval to route the transaction to your organization's signers.

Why Use the Gas Station?

The Gas Station is an institutional-grade tool designed to remove the "native token hurdle" common in blockchain finance.

  • Simplified Onboarding: New wallets can begin sending assets immediately without needing a separate transfer of native gas tokens first.

  • Consolidated Fees: Instead of tracking small amounts of various tokens across 11+ networks, your finance team can manage one central pool for all transaction costs.

  • Operational Resilience: Prevents transactions from being "stuck" or failing due to a lack of native gas, ensuring your global payments always move on time.
