What is GasAccount and how to use it

Rabby’s GasAccount is a unique feature designed to simplify how you manage network fees. It allows you to pay for transactions across all supported networks without needing to hold each chain's specific native gas token (like ETH, BNB, or POL).

This is highly beneficial when exploring new blockchains or participating in time-sensitive events:

  • Frictionless Multi-Chain Exploration: You can interact with DApps on multiple networks using a single, unified gas balance.

  • Instant Rewards and Airdrop Claims: When claiming something on a new chain, you no longer need to spend time manually finding and bridging gas to that specific chain first. By using GasAccount, you can cover your fees immediately and claim among the first.

How to use GasAccount

On the Browser Extension

1) Locate the GasAccount feature at the top of the extension window, to the left of the Settings gear icon.

  • Orange icon: Indicates you are short on gas or have a $0 balance.

  • Green icon: Indicates you have a sufficient gas balance.

2) Click Deposit Now and choose the token you want to deposit.

3) Once the deposit completes, your GasAccount balance will update.

When executing any future transaction or swap, you can select GasAccount as your gas payment method on the confirmation screen. Rabby will also automatically switch to using GasAccount when you don't have enough native gas.

On Rabby Mobile

1) Scroll down on the homepage and find the Gas Deposit option.

2) Choose your preferred deposit method:

  • Deposit with Token: Select an available token from your wallet to fund your account. If you decide to stop using GasAccount later, you can withdraw these tokens back to your wallet.

  • Deposit via Apple Pay / Google Pay: Fund your account directly using your mobile device's payment gateway.

    • Please note: Deposits made via Apple Pay or Google Pay cannot be withdrawn later.

3) Once the payment or deposit completes, your GasAccount balance will reflect the funds.

When executing any future transaction or swap, you can select GasAccount as your gas payment method on the confirmation screen. Rabby will also automatically switch to using GasAccount when you don't have enough native gas.

Troubleshooting: Deposit keeps pending

If your GasAccount deposit remains stuck in a "pending" status, please reach out to us via support message. Provide your wallet address so our team can check the transaction and resolve the issue for you.

How it works behind the scenes

Rabby Wallet does not charge any additional service fees for using GasAccount.()

When you choose to pay with GasAccount, Rabby handles the transaction directly through the UI:

1) Rabby estimates the gas required for your transaction.

2) Rabby then sends enough gas tokens directly to your wallet address to ensure you have sufficient tokens to complete the transaction.

Because of this mechanism, the total amount debited from your GasAccount balance consists of two components:

  • The transaction gas: The maximum estimated network fee required for your action.

  • The transfer fee: The network fee required for Rabby to send those gas tokens to your address.

💡 Note on unused gas: The actual gas fees for your transaction may be lower than the amount debited from your GasAccount. Any unused gas tokens will remain directly in your wallet address.
