Gas token finder: what pays fees on each network
The token you are sending is not necessarily the asset that pays the transaction fee. Select the network where your wallet will submit the transaction.
Native fee assets by network
| Network | Native fee asset |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | ETH |
| Base | ETH |
| Arbitrum One | ETH |
| OP Mainnet (Optimism) | ETH |
| Polygon PoS | POL |
| TRON | TRX |
| Solana | SOL |
| BNB Smart Chain | BNB |
Native gas balances belong to a particular network. ETH on Ethereum does not automatically provide ETH for a transaction on Base, Arbitrum One or OP Mainnet. For Polygon PoS, the native fee asset is now POL; older wallet interfaces may retain the MATIC label.
When you may not pay directly
TRON consumes Bandwidth for transaction data and Energy for contract execution. Staked or delegated resources may cover some or all of a transaction’s resource requirements; a shortfall can require TRX. Sponsored wallets or applications can cover fees for users, and exchanges may quote a withdrawal fee in the asset being withdrawn.
No fee amount or exchange asset support is inferred here. Check the actual wallet quote and ensure any gas you obtain arrives on the network you intend to use.
