Overview
Every on-chain transaction pays a network fee in the chain’s native asset, such as ETH on Ethereum or SOL on Solana. By default, the source vault account pays that fee, so it must hold the native asset alongside the tokens it sends. Funding many vault accounts with gas by hand is slow and error-prone. Fireblocks gives you two ways to remove that work.Gasless transactions or Gas Station?
They differ in whether the native asset ever reaches the source vault account.
You can use both: gasless transactions for token transfers, and Gas Station for the vault accounts that also send the native asset.
Scale the account that pays
A gasless relay and a Gas Station tank are each a single vault account that pays for many others. On EVM, each vault account has one nonce stream, so that account becomes a bottleneck during traffic spikes. To spread the load, select a Wallet Pool as the relay or as the Gas Station tank.In this section
