Insufficient Gas fee causing transaction failure? Gate Wallet Gas Station, your on-chain "emergency pocket"

Have you ever experienced such frustrating moments? Trying to make an urgent transfer on Ethereum only to find insufficient ETH balance to pay for network fees; participating in a popular DeFi project on Arbitrum but getting stuck at the last step due to lack of ARB; or rushing to buy your favorite NFT on Polygon but missing out because your MATIC wallet suddenly “hit bottom.” These transaction interruptions caused by insufficient Gas fees not only result in temporary “freezing” of funds but also lead to instant missed opportunities.

The Pain of Gas Management in the Multi-Chain Era

As Web3 enters a prosperous era of multi-chain parallelism, users’ assets and activities span dozens of blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and more. Each chain requires using its native token to pay Gas fees, sharply increasing management costs: you need to pre-store various tokens across multiple chains and constantly monitor balances. For beginners, this complexity can be daunting; for experienced users, it remains a persistent distraction and efficiency drain.

Solution: Gate Wallet Gas Station, Your On-Chain “Emergency Change Wallet”

Addressing this core pain point, Gate, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange platform, has innovatively launched the Gas Station feature within Gate Wallet. It no longer treats Gas fees as a precondition to be manually resolved before each operation but transforms them into a “background automatic service” supported by the platform. You can think of it as a digital change purse or emergency fund on-chain, bound 1:1 with your wallet: dedicated funds that are automatically activated only when needed, ensuring every on-chain operation runs smoothly.

Four Core Advantages of the Gas Station, Solving Urgent Needs

Emergency Payment, Turning Danger into Safety

This is the most fundamental value. When the native Gas token balance in your externally managed address (EOA) wallet is zero or insufficient, during transfer, transaction, or DApp interaction confirmation pages, the system will automatically prompt and enable the “Use Gas Station for Payment” option. A simple toggle click allows the transaction to be immediately submitted, completely avoiding failures caused by Gas shortages.

Small Amounts, Flexible Top-Ups

The Gas Station adopts a small recharge design of $5 - $100 USD equivalent, perfectly aligned with its “emergency” role. You don’t need to stockpile large amounts of Gas tokens for uncertain future needs, which can lead to idle funds. Just like carrying small change for emergencies, you can recharge small amounts anytime, with minimal capital occupation and light psychological burden.

One Account, Covering Ten Main Networks

Currently, Gate Wallet Gas Station supports 10 mainstream EVM networks including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Base, Linea, as well as GateChain EVM and Gate Layer. No matter which chain your assets and active scenarios are on, a single Gas Station account can handle it, achieving true multi-chain universality.

Hundreds of Assets, Free Recharge

You no longer need to purchase native tokens for each chain separately. The Gas Station supports recharging with over 100 common cryptocurrencies such as GT, USDT, USDC, ETH, BNB, etc. For example, you can directly use USDT in your account to pay for Gas on Arbitrum, or use GT to cover contract interactions on Polygon. This greatly enhances asset utilization flexibility and breaks down on-chain resource barriers.

Easy Two-Step Tutorial, Get Started Quickly

Step 1: Easy Recharge

• On the Gate Wallet homepage, find and enter “More” or “Tools”.
• Select the “Gas Station” feature.
• Click “Recharge”, the system will display recommended recharge amounts, or you can manually input any value between $5 - $100.
• Choose your preferred network and recharge token (e.g., USDT on Ethereum network), confirm the exchange rate and credited amount, then complete the payment. Recharges are credited instantly.

Step 2: Seamless Use

When you perform operations on supported chains (such as sending tokens, authorizing DApps, transferring NFTs), if the system detects insufficient native Gas in your wallet, the confirmation page will automatically show a toggle for “Use Gas Station for Payment of Network Fees.” Just ensure the toggle is on, then confirm the transaction as usual. The payment process is fully automated in the background, providing a smooth, invisible experience.

Safe and Transparent, Trustworthy

All recharge and payment records via the Gas Station can be clearly viewed in the “Transaction History” within the feature, with each record traceable to on-chain transaction hashes. The entire process involves no additional smart contract authorization, keeping your wallet assets secure and aligned with Gate’s high standards.

About GT’s Ecosystem Role

As the core token of the Gate ecosystem, GateToken (GT) not only carries platform value but also continuously expands its application boundaries. In the Gate Gas Station scenario, users can directly use GT to pay Gas fees for on-chain transactions across multiple supported public chains, significantly lowering cross-chain and multi-chain operation barriers. This mechanism effectively increases GT’s usage frequency and circulation efficiency, reinforcing its role as a “value hub” within the ecosystem.

According to Gate market data, as of January 27, 2026, GT’s price is approximately $9.87, up about 2.07% in 24 hours, with a market cap of around $987 million USD and a circulating supply of 100.35 million tokens. Overall, GT maintains stable market attention and liquidity. The market generally believes that GT’s medium- to long-term value is highly related to the expansion of the Gate ecosystem, high-frequency application scenarios (such as Gas Station, fee discounts, platform benefits), and ongoing implementation.

Looking ahead, as Gate continues to build Web3 infrastructure, on-chain tools, and multi-scenario applications, GT’s functionality is expected to evolve from a “platform rights token” to an “ecosystem foundational asset,” with its role in value capture and internal circulation further strengthened.
