# Universal Gas

UniversalX uses Universal Accounts' Universal Gas functionality, otherwise known as gas abstraction.

Thanks to Universal Gas, UniversalX users can pay the fees on a transaction using any Primary Token. Traditionally, transactions require fees to be paid in the native token of the network(s) you’re interacting with; however, in UniversalX, you can enjoy full gas flexibility.

### How does this work? <a href="#using-universal-gas" id="using-universal-gas"></a>

Below is a quick overview of how the **Particle Network Paymaster enables** Universal Gas by paying native gas on behalf of users, and then pays itself back from the users' balance across different chains.
