  All transactions on Kash are final once confirmed on the blockchain. Always verify transaction details carefully before confirming, as completed transactions cannot be reversed.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Kash covers all gas fees for user transactions, so you only pay the 2% platform fee. This makes the platform accessible without needing to manage ETH for gas costs.
