  • Why might I see a network fee when buying or selling tokens?

    In some cases, World App may not be able to cover the network fee required to process a token buy or sell. When this happens, the app may show you the amount of WLD needed to continue.

    This is known as a self-sponsored transaction, and it only appears during periods of very high network activity. When internal limits are reached, World may temporarily stop sponsoring the network fee for certain operations, including buys or sells.

    If this applies to your transaction:

    1. You’ll see a message with the amount of WLD required.

    2. If you accept, the transaction will continue as usual.

    You don’t need to take any action in advance — the app will notify you automatically whenever a network fee is required.

(Neither the World Foundation nor TFH control, endorse, or are responsible for your transactions with third-party providers.)
