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.

Gas Fee Requirements by Chain

Blockchain	Required Gas Token
Ethereum (ETH) & all ERC20 tokens (e.g., ERC20-USDT, XIN)	ETH
Base Chain & all Base tokens	ETH on Base Chain
Polygon Chain & all Polygon tokens	POL
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) & all BEP20 tokens	BNB (BEP20)
Solana Chain & all Solana tokens	SOL
Optimist chain& all Optimism token	ETH on Optimism Chian
Arbitrum chain& all Arbitrum token	ETH on Arbitrum Chian

✅ Note: ETH on Base is different from ETH on Ethereum Mainnet. Pay attention to the asset labels.

What Happens When You Lack Gas?

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.

How to Get the Required Gas Fees

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.
