Further Info

All RAILGUN fees can be paid with wrapped base network tokens or stablecoins, so you do not need to keep a private balance of ETH, BNB or MATIC for transactions from your 0zk address.

If this is your first time using Railway Wallet, it's a good idea to Unshield some of the base network token (ETH/BNB/MATIC) to a fresh 0x address to assist with Self-Relaying as a backup to the Relayer network.
