LI.Fuel Overview

When users bridge to a new chain they haven’t interacted with before, they need the chain’s native asset to cover gas fees. If the bridged asset is not a native token, users face a “cold-start” problem, where they cannot perform any on-chain actions due to the lack of gas.

To address this, LI.FI has streamlined the process into a single transaction. Users can designate a portion of the asset being sent to be converted into the native asset on the destination chain, along with the desired bridged asset. This ensures they have the necessary gas to begin interacting on the new chain.

This is possible by adding the fromAmountForGas to a quote or routes request
