Bitget Wallet, a leading self-custody Web3 wallet, has added a new feature enabling gas fee payments using stablecoins or its native BGB token. The feature removes the need for users to hold network-specific tokens just to cover transaction fees.

With this update, users can pay fees on several blockchains without needing tokens like ETH, MATIC, or BNB in their wallets. Bitget Wallet implemented Ethereum’s EIP-7702 to enable this across major EVM-compatible chains, such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, along with non-EVM chains Solana and TRON.

Stablecoin Support Across Multiple Chains

Gas abstraction lets users pay fees in stablecoins such as USDT and USDC or in Bitget’s BGB token. The system automatically deducts the required gas fee from the selected token at the time of the transaction.

This is aimed at improving user experience by removing one of the most common issues for new users—managing different native gas tokens. “Abstracting gas payments is a foundational step toward making self-custody usable at scale,” said Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitget Wallet. He added that it solves the friction caused by fragmented blockchain ecosystems.

Technical Integrations for Gas Fee Payments

On EVM-compatible chains, the update utilizes Ethereum’s EIP-7702, a recently proposed standard that supports smart wallet features including gas abstraction. This ensures secure and seamless transactions while using non-native tokens for fees.

Solana support is achieved through its Paymaster model, which allows third-party services to sponsor transaction fees. Meanwhile, on the TRON network, the wallet taps into an energy leasing mechanism to settle fees without native TRX tokens.

This feature builds on Bitget Wallet’s earlier “GetGas” function, which allowed users to pre-fund transaction fees using a variety of tokens on up to 14 blockchains.

Cross-Chain Expansion and Future Support

Bitget Wallet currently enables operations across 24 blockchains. The new gas abstraction feature is initially limited to individual chain transactions but will soon extend to cross-chain transactions as well.

The development team is also working to add support for more networks. Upcoming integrations include Plasma, Sei, and Morph. This is part of Bitget Wallet’s broader plan to improve accessibility and simplify the decentralized user experience.

The wallet is designed for crypto investors and Web3 users who prefer to manage their assets across multiple blockchains without relying on centralized exchanges. By allowing payments in stablecoins and native BGB token, Bitget Wallet aims to streamline wallet management for all users.
