FAQ
Why do I need GRAM to send my USDT crypto payment?
USDT transfers on the GRAM network need some GRAM in the sending wallet, because the network prices the processing cost of a USDT payment in GRAM. Keep a GRAM balance in the same wallet as your USDT before you send the payment. The wallet shows the exact GRAM it needs when you confirm
Why do I need GRAM to send my USDT crypto payment?
On the GRAM network, a USDT transfer is processed as a GRAM transaction, and a GRAM balance in the sending wallet covers the network processing cost. Your USDT covers the payment amount itself, so GRAM is held separately. The wallet prompts for GRAM when it sees none available for the processing cost.
What is gas on the GRAM network for my USDT payment?
Gas is the GRAM network's processing cost for running a transaction. When you send a USDT crypto payment, the network charges that processing cost, and it is paid in GRAM, not USDT. The requirement appears as a GRAM line in your wallet before you confirm.
Why can I not pay the USDT gas fee with USDT itself?
On the GRAM network, the processing cost for a USDT payment is expressed in GRAM, so USDT alone cannot cover it. The network reads that cost from the GRAM portion of the wallet balance. Hold some GRAM in the same wallet that sends the USDT.
How much GRAM do I need for the gas of my USDT payment?
The exact GRAM amount for the processing cost depends on the network state when you send, and the wallet shows it before you confirm. Keep a small GRAM balance in the sending wallet so the USDT payment can be processed. Do not rely on a fixed number, because the shown requirement can vary.
Why did my USDT crypto payment fail for lack of GRAM gas?
A USDT crypto payment can fail when the sending wallet holds no GRAM, because the GRAM network needs GRAM to cover the processing cost. The wallet usually shows a warning about the missing GRAM before the transfer. Add GRAM to that wallet and try the payment again.
Does the wallet warn me before my USDT payment runs out of GRAM gas?
Wallets vary, but a wallet that detects a missing GRAM balance for the processing cost can show a warning before the USDT payment starts. Confirm that you can see a GRAM line in your wallet, not just the USDT balance. The failure itself is visible at the moment the transfer is attempted.
Can I receive USDT on the GRAM network without holding GRAM?
Receiving USDT on the GRAM network does not require the receiver to hold GRAM for the processing cost. The GRAM requirement applies to the sending side of a USDT transfer. The receiver balance appears as USDT without extra GRAM.
What happens if I send a USDT payment with no GRAM in my wallet?
The GRAM network cannot complete a USDT payment when the sending wallet holds no GRAM for the processing cost. The transfer can remain unprocessed until GRAM is added, or the wallet may refuse the attempt. Check the wallet balance for a GRAM line before sending.
Does unspent GRAM from my USDT payment stay in my wallet?
The GRAM you hold above the processing cost of a USDT payment stays in the same wallet as your balance. The payment spends only the part the network uses for the transaction. Your wallet shows the remaining GRAM after the transfer.
Does the SexyGram checkout cover the GRAM gas for my USDT payment?
The SexyGram checkout displays the amount for the order and does not collect extra funds for the network. The GRAM gas requirement for a USDT payment is handled by the wallet you send from. The checkout page shows the amount to send, while the wallet manages the processing side.
How do I add GRAM to my wallet before sending my USDT payment?
GRAM is added inside your wallet through its own buy or receive flow, and the label varies by wallet. The same wallet that holds the USDT must also show a GRAM balance for the payment to process. Send the USDT only after your wallet shows GRAM.
Why does the USDT amount for my crypto payment stay the same even with GRAM gas?
The USDT amount for your crypto payment is the value the order compares, and GRAM gas is a separate processing cost in the wallet. The checkout displays the USDT amount for the order, while the wallet manages the GRAM side. Matching depends only on the amount and network of the USDT payment.
Is GRAM gas the same for every USDT crypto payment?
The processing cost for a USDT crypto payment can differ between transactions because it depends on network conditions at sending time. The wallet shows the GRAM requirement on each transfer. Treat the shown value as the current one for that payment.
What gas means on the GRAM network
Gas is the processing cost a blockchain charges to run a transaction. On the GRAM network, sending a USDT payment is a transaction, so the sender's wallet carries a GRAM portion to cover that processing cost. This cost is separate from the order amount the checkout shows for the USDT payment.
Why USDT cannot pay for its own gas
The GRAM network prices its processing cost in GRAM, so USDT itself cannot be used for that line. A USDT balance covers the value you send, while a GRAM line in the same wallet covers the processing. This is why a wallet can look full of USDT yet still block a transfer.
Where the gas requirement appears
The GRAM requirement can appear in the wallet as a GRAM line near the USDT amount before you confirm a USDT payment. Some wallets warn when the GRAM line is missing. The SexyGram checkout displays the USDT amount for the order, not the GRAM side of the network.
Common mistakes with gas
Sending USDT without GRAM in the wallet is a common slip, and it can leave a USDT payment unprocessed. Another mistake is assuming the checkout total includes the gas, when the checkout shows only the order amount. Check for a GRAM line, then confirm the USDT amount matches the checkout.
What this means for your checkout
At SexyGram, the checkout shows the USDT amount and the network for the order. The GRAM requirement for a USDT payment lives in your wallet, not in the checkout total. Automatic matching depends on the amount and network of the payment, and the status page shows the visible order state after you send.
