This article explains which actions require Starknet network fees (also known as gas) and how they work.
Ready does not profit from network fees.
What is a network fee (gas)?
A network fee is the cost of processing transactions on the Starknet blockchain.
Every onchain action—such as sending tokens, interacting with a smart contract, or using a decentralized application (dApp)—requires gas. These fees are paid to the Starknet network, not to Ready.
Which actions require network fees?
The following actions require gas:
- Creating a wallet (the fee is paid from your first deposit).
- Recovering your wallet onchain.
- Sending ETH, ERC-20 tokens, or collectibles.
- Using DeFi integrations, such as Vesu or Endur.
- Interacting with dApps.
- Swapping tokens.
Will I have to pay network fees?
For transactions made in the Ready mobile app, network fees are subsidized by Ready, so you won't need to pay gas yourself.
You might need some assets in the wallet though for fees for transactions that are not done from within the app - bridging, onchain recoveries.
In other Ready products, where network fees aren't subsidized, the estimated fee is displayed before you confirm a transaction.
Which tokens can I use to pay network fees?
Network fees on Starknet can be paid using STRK.
