Gas Fees
Gas fees are small payments required to process and verify transactions on a blockchain. They compensate the network validators who securely confirm and store each transaction — ensuring integrity, reliability, and protection from fraud.
Gas Fees on Base
Ezra Trusts operates on Base, a blockchain network operated by Coinbase.
Base is extremely low‑cost — gas fees are typically less than one dollar‑cent per transaction.
To execute any transaction on Base, your wallet must hold a tiny amount of gas (paid in ETH on Base).
Who Pays the Gas?
For standard operation of your trust, you do not need gas.
All normal distributions and claims are executed by Ezra Trusts using a shared Manager Executor Pool that pays gas automatically from the Yield Allocator Contracts.
This means:
- Daily claims = gas fully covered
- You do not need gas for receiving your trust benefits
When You Might Need Gas
Some optional actions do require a small amount of gas, including:
- Approving locked‑share transactions for the Emergency Fund
- Setting an exchange claim wallet deposit address
- Setting a minimum claim amount for automated exchange payouts
These transactions are rare and cost only a fraction of a cent.
If You Don’t Have Gas
If you ever need to perform one of the above operations but do not have gas in your wallet:
➡️ Contact the Founder, and we will send you a small amount of gas (typically around $1 worth) to enable the transaction.
Gas keeps the blockchain secure — but Ezra Trusts ensures you almost never need to think about it.
