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. So if you're sending an ERC-20 token, you don't need ETH to cover gas — the fee comes out of the token itself. This applies across supported assets, and the recipient is never charged for a send you make.

Good to know:

• No separate gas coin required — unlike a typical self-custody wallet, you don't need the chain's native token to pay gas; the fee is deducted from the token you send.
• ERC-20 example: sending an ERC-20 token doesn't require holding ETH — the fee comes out of the token you send, not a separate ETH balance.
• The fee comes out of the sent token, so the net amount the recipient receives is what you sent minus the applicable fees.
• The recipient pays nothing — the entire fee sits on the sending side.
• Applies across supported assets — Pluang deducts fees from the sent token itself, so there's no separate gas balance to manage per network.
• The current fee shows before you confirm — the send screen displays the live fee for your asset at transaction time.

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 separately to cover gas — unlike a typical self-custody wallet where you'd need the native coin on hand.

Q: Does the recipient pay any part of the sending fee?
No. The fee is deducted only from the amount you send, on the sending side. The recipient is never charged and doesn't need any native or gas token to receive the transfer.

Q: Does this apply to every coin I send from Pluang?
Yes, across supported assets. Pluang's crypto send feature deducts the fee from the sent token itself rather than a separate gas token, so there's no separate native-coin balance to manage per network.

Q: Why do other wallets ask me to hold a native token for gas?
Many blockchains charge gas that must be paid in the chain's native coin (e.g. ETH on Ethereum). In a self-custody wallet, holding only the token means you can't cover gas and the transfer stalls. Pluang avoids this by taking the fee from the token you send.

Q: Will the fee taken from my token change between sends?
It can — the fee reflects network conditions at transaction time, so it fluctuates. Since it's deducted from the token you send, the net amount received depends on the fee at that moment. The send screen shows the current fee before you confirm.
