Destination Gas: Receive Tokens Without Native Balance
AEXI's destination-gas option lets you receive tokens on a new chain even when you hold zero native coins there — the payout arrives pre-funded.
The Onboarding Problem
Every network needs gas — the native coin that pays transaction fees. Bridge USDC to Arbitrum with zero ETH there and you cannot move the USDC, trade it or pay anyone with it.
New wallets hit this constantly: the value arrives, but the network will not let it be spent.
What Destination Gas Does
AEXI's destination-gas option folds a small amount of the destination chain's native coin into your swap.
Instead of arriving with nothing, your payout arrives with gas pre-funded — enough to cover the first few transactions on the new network.
When to Turn It On
Sending to a brand-new wallet on an unfamiliar chain is the classic case — airdrop hunting and multi-chain onboarding live on this.
Also useful whenever you will need to transact immediately after arrival: claiming rewards or executing a DeFi trade on the spot.
How to Enable It
In the swap form, the destination-gas toggle adds the target chain's native gas amount to the quote. AEXI funds the gas wallet as part of the same route.
The exact gas amount and its cost are shown before you confirm, so there are no surprises at the payout.
