What It Is

Gas fees are a major UX barrier in DeFi. Users need to hold ETH (or native tokens) just to transact, adding friction to deposits and withdrawals. Gas abstraction removes this.

​
How It Works

Instead of users paying gas themselves:
  1. You enable gas sponsorship for users
  2. SDK automatically bundles gas payment with transactions
  3. User signs a single transaction
  4. You pay for gas, and transactions are relayed to the blockchain
  5. Optional: Monetize on gas sponsorship

​
Why It’s Useful

  • Better UX: Users can deposit USDC and earn yield without ever holding ETH. Remove the “you need ETH for gas” error that stops conversions.
  • Higher Conversion: Users coming from fiat or CEXs don’t have ETH. They can start earning immediately without learning about gas or acquiring native tokens.
  • Stablecoin-Only Experiences: Build apps where users only touch stablecoins. No ETH, just USDC/USDT in and out.
  • Flexible Business Models: Sponsor gas for deposits to drive growth, charge gas on withdrawals, or embed gas costs in your fee structure.
