What to Do If Your Common Wallet Has No Gas Fees?
Mixin’s Common Wallet functions like a Web3 wallet. Just like other Web3 wallets, you must pay blockchain gas fees using the native asset of the chain when withdrawing crypto. This means your Common Wallet must hold the corresponding chain’s token to cover fees.
✅ Note: ETH on Base is different from ETH on Ethereum Mainnet. Pay attention to the asset labels.
If your wallet doesn’t have enough gas (native chain asset), the Review button will be greyed out, and you won’t be able to initiate a withdrawal.
Identify the Required Chain and Amount
Mixin will display the exact asset and amount needed for gas on the failed transaction page.
Deposit the Required Asset
You can do this in one of two ways:
• Transfer from an external exchange or wallet to your Common Wallet;
• Transfer from your Mixin Privacy Wallet to your Common Wallet.
🔔 Gas fees fluctuate. It is recommended to deposit slightly more than the displayed fee amount to ensure a smooth transaction.
Wait for Confirmation
Once the asset arrives, you’ll be able to proceed with transfers or withdrawals.
