Questions

Straight answers about how GasTanker works today.

Product

Do you hold my funds?

Your primary liquidity stays on your exchange. GasTanker never takes custody of your treasury.

When automatic funding is on, gas passes briefly through your organization's dedicated relay on its way to your wallets. Relay balances are capped, attributable to specific operations, and forwarded or reconciled. A relay is never a pooled or long-term balance.

Do I need to connect an exchange?

Not for monitoring. Monitoring needs only a wallet address.

Automatic funding needs a supported exchange connection and your relay on its withdrawal allowlist.

Which exchanges do you support?

Bybit, Binance, Coinbase, Gate, KuCoin, and OKX, for the funding preview. Each needs a dedicated key that can read; GasTanker only reads with it, and tests a new key before it replaces a working one. Coinbase, Gate, KuCoin, and OKX sources show balances and withdrawal networks, but batches can’t withdraw from them yet.

Which networks do you support?

Every network on our coverage page, gastanker.xyz/coverage. We list a network only after it is live, and the coverage page, the dashboard, and the API show the current list.

Why do I need to allowlist a relay instead of my wallets?

Exchanges commonly require every withdrawal destination to be approved in advance. If you run many operational wallets, maintaining that list becomes its own job.

You allowlist your GasTanker relay once. Wallets are added, rotated, and removed in GasTanker without touching the exchange.

What is sponsored execution?

For compatible smart accounts and networks, a sponsor can pay a transaction's gas so the sending wallet doesn't need its own native balance.

GasTanker's relay can use sponsorship to forward funds where it's supported, and falls back to a small, bounded native-gas reserve where it isn't. Sponsoring your own transactions is part of our longer-term direction.

What if I only want alerts?

That's a fully supported way to use GasTanker. Monitoring is not a demo of the automatic product.

For many teams, early warning already solves the problem.

Operations

How fast is a top-up?

As fast as your exchange's withdrawal and the destination network safely allow. We'll publish measured figures once automatic funding is live; we don't publish estimates.

Status is visible throughout the operation.

What happens if a top-up fails?

It depends on what failed.

If GasTanker knows nothing moved, it can safely try again or hold for you.

If it cannot tell whether funds already moved, it stops, checks the exchange and the chain, and resolves that first. It never sends twice to be safe.

The wallet is marked as needing attention and the full state stays visible.

Can GasTanker spend more than I expect?

No. Automatic funding is bounded by per-operation, per-wallet, velocity, and organization-wide limits, plus human approval while a route is being proved and an emergency pause.

Platform

Do I need to understand gas on each network?

No. That's the point.

You say which wallets must stay ready and what “ready” means. GasTanker handles the network-specific mechanics.

Is there a dashboard?

Yes. The dashboard covers wallets, policies, alert channels, operations, funding sources and batches, API keys, team access, security settings, and organization-scoped operational health.

How do API keys work?

Keys belong to your organization, are scoped, and are shown once. They can read and register wallets and operations, but cannot do anything that requires a human second factor.

What happens if billing fails?

GasTanker will never show a wallet as protected after monitoring has stopped. Any degraded state is shown clearly, and critical monitoring continues wherever we can operate it.
