Which assets in RockWallet require ETH for network fees?
Tokens that live on Ethereum require ETH to pay network fees
If a token runs on the Ethereum network (for example, ERC-20 tokens like USDT), you’ll need ETH to pay the gas fee, even if you’re not sending ETH itself.
ETH is the fuel that powers Ethereum transactions.
