User Guide for the Gas Fee Sponsorship Feature
Why Do We Have Gas Fee Sponsorship?
On blockchains, every action like sending, swapping, or bridging tokens needs a gas fee. It’s always been part of how blockchains work.
But for newcomers, this becomes a heavy barrier. They don’t fully understand gas fees yet, and each chain needs its own specific token (usually the native token) to pay for gas. If you don’t have the right token on the right chain, you simply can’t do your transaction.
That’s why ERC-7702 is a game-changer. It allows users to get gas fees sponsored from another source that’s ready to pay for them, removing one of the biggest roadblocks for new users in crypto.
Gas Fee Sponsorship Benefits?
From the user's perspective, Gas Fee Sponsorship removes one of the biggest frictions in using blockchain applications: paying gas fees.
When a sponsorship is active, users can send tokens without needing the native token of that network in their wallet. The gas is still paid — but it's covered by someone else.
This makes onboarding faster, smoother, and more accessible — especially for newcomers who may not be familiar with how gas works or how to acquire tokens. It’s also a game-changer for mobile-first experiences, where simplicity is key.
How to utilize the Gas Fee Sponsorship feature?
Using the Gas Fee Sponsorship feature is straightforward:
Navigate to the Gas Fee Section: When you are about to perform a transaction or interact with a protocol that requires a gas fee, scroll down to the Gas Fee section.
Check for Sponsorship Availability: If a sponsor is available, an option to select a Gas Fee Sponsor will appear.
View Available Sponsors: Once you select this option, you will see sponsor banners displayed for you to choose from.
Select Your Sponsor: Tap on the sponsor you wish to use. The system will then allocate that sponsor to cover the gas fee for your transaction.
Note:
Sponsor banners operate on a pre-funded pool for gas fees. If many users use the same sponsor and the remaining funds fall below the required minimum, the banner will become unavailable.
When this happens, you will see the sponsor banner appear dimmed or greyed out, and it will not be selectable until it is funded again.
