Do I Need Native Tokens to Send Crypto on Pluang?

No — you don't need to hold a separate native token to send crypto on Pluang. On many blockchains, moving a token normally requires paying the network's gas fee in that chain's native coin (for example, ETH on Ethereum), which can trap users who hold the token but not the gas coin. Pluang removes that friction: the sending fee is deducted directly from the token you're actually sending, not from a separate native or gas token you'd otherwise need to buy and hold. So if you're sending an ERC-20 token, you don't need ETH sitting in your account to cover gas — the fee comes out of the token itself. This applies across the supported assets on Pluang's crypto send feature. The recipient is never charged for a send you make; the entire fee is taken on the sending side, from the amount you send.

• No separate gas coin required. Unlike a typical self-custody wallet, you don't need to hold the chain's native token to pay gas — Pluang deducts the sending fee from the token you're sending.
• ERC-20 example. Sending an ERC-20 token doesn't require holding ETH (the Ethereum network's native coin). The fee is deducted from the token you send rather than a separate ETH balance.
• The fee comes out of the sent token. Because the fee is taken from the same asset you're transferring, the net amount that reaches the recipient is the amount you sent minus the applicable fees.
• The recipient pays nothing. The recipient is never charged for a send you make — the entire fee sits on the sending side.
• This applies across supported assets. Pluang's crypto send feature deducts fees from the sent token itself for the assets it supports, so you don't have to manage a separate gas balance per network.
• The current fee shows before you confirm. Because network fees vary with blockchain conditions, the send screen displays the live fee for your asset at transaction time, so you can see exactly what will be deducted from the token you're sending.

Q: If I send an ERC-20 token, do I need ETH in my wallet?
No. Pluang deducts the sending fee from the token you're sending, so you don't need to hold ETH — the Ethereum network's native coin — separately to cover gas. This is different from a typical self-custody wallet, where you'd normally need the native coin on hand to pay the network fee. On Pluang, the fee simply comes out of the token itself.

Q: Does the recipient pay any part of the sending fee?
No. The sending fee is deducted only from the amount you send, on the sending side. The recipient is never charged for a send you make, so nothing is taken from them and they don't need to hold any native or gas token to receive the transfer. The entire cost of the send is borne by the sender.

Q: Does this apply to every coin I send from Pluang?
Yes, across the supported assets. Pluang's crypto send feature deducts the fee from the sent token itself rather than from a separate gas token, for the coins it supports. That means you don't have to manage a separate native-coin balance for each network you send on — the fee always comes out of the asset you're transferring.

Q: Why do other wallets ask me to hold a native token for gas?
On many blockchains, the network charges a gas fee that must be paid in that chain's native coin — ETH on Ethereum, for example. In a self-custody wallet, if you hold only the token and no native coin, you can't cover gas and the transfer stalls. Pluang avoids this by taking the fee from the token you're sending instead.

Q: Will the fee taken from my token change between sends?
It can. The sending fee reflects network conditions at the time of your transaction, so it fluctuates rather than staying fixed. Because it's deducted from the token you're sending, the net amount the recipient receives depends on the fee at that moment. The send screen shows the current fee before you confirm, so you always see what will be deducted.
