Question 3

Why does Trails flag low-volume transactions?

Accepted Answer

Why does Trails flag low-volume transactions?

Transactions for very small amounts (less than ~$0.10) can sometimes fail or be routed incorrectly depending on the exact route.

Cost vs. Value: For extremely small sums, the fee taken by liquidity providers or total gas may be greater than the transaction amount itself, making the operation economically unviable.
Recommendation: For smaller transactions, we recommend using high-liquidity tokens, such as USDC, as they generally have better routing options.

Question 4

Can I pay for transactions with non-native gas tokens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Trails offers flexible payment options, allowing you to pay gas fees using your preferred tokens, not just the native gas token of the chain. This prevents the issue of bridging to a new chain and not being able to interact since you don't have the native gas token as well as giving additional utility to more tokens.

ERC20 and EIP-2612 Gas Support: Trails supports paying gas fees with a large variety of ERC20 and EIP-2612 (permit-compatible) tokens such as USDC and USDT.
