Maintaining funds for the Gas Station is critical to avoid business interruptions. Transactions made from wallets with insufficient gas will continuously fail until you add more funds. Ensure proper funding by depositing the appropriate base assets into the Gas Station wallet. The Gas Station will then use these assets to refuel your monitored vault accounts with gas for their outbound transactions.

​
Funding with the API

  1. Call the List internal wallets endpoint to find the Gas Station’s wallet ID.
  2. Call the Create a new transaction endpoint, enter INTERNAL_WALLET in the destination object’s type field and the Gas Station’s wallet ID in the walletId field, and then enter the appropriate base asset (as defined in Fireblocks) in the assetId field.
The example below funds the Gas Station wallet with ETH based on its gasStationWalletUUID, in the value of 0.1 ETH transferred from vault account ID 0. 
const fundGasStationWallet = async (
  payload: TransactionRequest,
): Promise<CreateTransactionResponse | undefined> => {
  try {
    const result = await fireblocks.transactions.createTransaction({
      transactionRequest: payload,
    });
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
    return result.data;
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
};
