Gas Tokens

Pay network fees in the coin you actually hold

Every transaction you make with Hinkal (Send, Swap, Fund, Shield, or a dApp interaction) is settled by a relayer that fronts the on-chain gas fee. Instead of forcing you to keep spare ETH, the relayer lets you reimburse that cost in any of four tokens:

• ETH (native token)

• USDC

• USDT

• DAI

How it works under the hood

1. You choose a gas token on the transaction screen.

2. The relayer broadcasts your signed transaction and pays the gas in ETH.

3. Once the transaction is processed, the relayer charges the dollar-value cost from your wallet in the token you selected.

Because the settlement happens atomically with the call, you never owe the relayer a balance later and you don’t have to keep ETH on hand “just in case.”

Using the gas-token selector

1. Tap the Gas Token dropdown.

2. Pick ETH, USDC, USDT, or DAI — balances are shown so you know you can cover the fee.

3. The Gas cost line instantly converts to the new token so you see the exact amount that will be charged.

4. Hit Swap / Send / Fund / Shield and sign. That’s it.
