Refill BTC for Gas Fees

Executing Synchronizer and Validator actions requires paying gas fees in exSat. These gas fees are deducted from the Synchronizer/Validator account. When the balance is low, you will need to recharge with more BTC as gas fee.

Check BTC balance for gas fee

You have two ways to check your gas fee balance:

1. Via the web page

2. Using the Client

1. Check BTC balance for gas fee via web page

To check the BTC balance for gas fees associated with your Validator account, connect using your Stake Address on this page. If you manage multiple Validators, you can switch between accounts by clicking the 'Switch' button.

2. Check BTC balance for gas fee via Client

If you're running from source code, please execute "yarn start-commander" to run the client.

yarn start-commander

If you're running with Docker, please use the following commands to run it in interactive mode (assume the container name is commander)

docker rm commander
docker run -it --name commander -v $HOME/.exsat/:/app/.exsat -e CLIENT_TYPE=commander exsatnetwork/exsat-client:latest

Refill BTC by Stake Address

Typically, you can use this page to connect your Stake Address and top up the gas fee for your Validator Account by clicking on "Recharge" button. If you have multiple Validators, you can switch between them using the "Switch" button to top up the gas fee for each one.

Refill BTC by any EVM address

If you prefer to connect to a different EVM address to top up the gas fee for your Validator, please use this webpage to complete the process.
