⚙️ Effective process

1️⃣. The user wants to carry out a transaction and cover the network fees with the funds available in their gas tank ⛽ (the user can choose this option before proceeding with the transaction)

2️⃣. A consumption request is made to their gas tank ⛽ to use the necessary portion of the deposited funds

3️⃣. The gas tank ⛽ takes a portion of the total deposited amount and converts it into the cryptocurrency (the coin of the transaction where the transaction takes place) that needs to be used for the transaction

4️⃣. The coin (the required value) is then sent to the account with which the transaction is being made

5️⃣. Once the required coin amount is received, the transaction can be triggered

6️⃣. If the user decides to cancel the transaction after receiving the necessary cryptocurrency (coin), the fees remain in the account that was about to perform the transaction

✍️ Additional notes

ℹ️ . There is 1 referring account for the gas tank ⛽ (removing not gas tank⛽ accounts should not affect its balance)

ℹ️ . Funds deposited in the gas tank ⛽ must be spent on transaction fees
