GetGas: Simplifying Gas Fees For Web3 Transactions
2024-12-10
Gas fees are one of the first hurdles users encounter when exploring the Web3 world. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned crypto enthusiast, dealing with gas fees across multiple blockchains can be a hassle. In the current multi-chain ecosystem, every blockchain requires its own native token for gas fees. Users must not only keep track of which token is needed for each chain but also ensure they have enough to avoid transaction failures. This complexity often leads to frustration, even for experienced users.
To address this, we are excited to introduce
GetGas, a service designed to streamline the way users pay for gas fees and enhance their Web3 experience.
Introducing GetGas
GetGas simplifies gas fee payments by allowing users to fund their accounts with popular stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and BWB and allowing these funds to be used to pay gas fees across multiple blockchains seamlessly. The service eliminates the need to manage multiple native tokens, enabling users to focus on their transactions instead of the fees.
Key Features of GetGas
-
Broad Chain Support:
GetGas supports major public chains such as Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Ton, and TRON, with more chains to be added. -
Multi-Currency Payment:
Users can fund their GetGas account with USDT, USDC, or BWB, and gas fees are automatically deducted during transactions. -
Gas Coupons:
Earn free gas coupons by participating in Bitget Wallet’s earning activities. These coupons can offset gas fees, helping users save costs. -
Versatile Usage:
GetGas can be used for various scenarios, including on-chain transfers, swaps, and DApp interactions.
How to Use GetGas?
1) Update your Bitget Wallet app to V8.26 and above to activate GetGas. Once activated, you can deposit USDT, USDC, or BWB to your GetGas account.
2) During on-chain transactions like transfers, swaps and DApp transactions, the system will automatically deduct the corresponding gas fees from your GetGas balance.
3)When trading on heterogeneous chains like Tron, Ton, and Solana, if you lack Gas fees, you can resolve this in two ways:
Click "Deposit" in the GetGas prompt bar during the transaction to use your GetGas balance to exchange for Gas tokens from these chains.
Deposit Gas tokens directly through on-chain transfer, purchase, or Instant Swap.
Participate in Bitget Wallet’s campaigns in the
Reward center to receive gas coupons that can be stacked and used to reduce transaction costs.
The deduction priority is as follows:
Gas Vouchers (by earliest expiry) > USD > BWB.
GetGas FAQs
1. Why can’t I open a GetGas account?
GetGas requires wallets capable of generating EVM addresses. Supported wallets include EVM private key wallets, mnemonic wallets, and MPC wallets. Imported wallets without EVM address compatibility (e.g., from Ton Keeper) cannot enable GetGas.
2. How does GetGas help me?
GetGas offers several benefits that enhance convenience and flexibility. If you hold BWB, you can use it to offset gas fees, expanding its utility.
For users who trade frequently across multiple blockchains, GetGas eliminates the hassle of preparing main chain coins for each network. Additionally, users holding USDT or USDC stablecoins can use GetGas to pay gas fees on different chains, streamlining their transaction process.
3. What tokens are supported for funding my GetGas account?
Currently, GetGas supports USDT, USDC, and BWB. When depositing USDT or USDC, the funds are credited in USD at a 1:1 exchange rate. Depositing BWB credits the same amount in BWB. More tokens will be supported in the future.
4. Do I have to pay fees when I fund my GetGas account?
Yes, a gas fee applies when topping up your GetGas account. If your wallet has insufficient main chain gas tokens to pay the gas fee, the required amount will be deducted from your GetGas balance after the deposit is completed.
However, if you have enough main chain gas token in your wallet, the fee will be deducted from your main chain gas token balance.
5. Which blockchains does GetGas support?
GetGas currently supports Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Ton, and TRON. For Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, you can directly deduct gas fees from your GetGas balance.
For Solana, Ton, and TRON, the GetGas balance can be used to purchase their native tokens, such as SOL, TRX, and Ton, which can then be used to pay gas fees.
6. Are there any fees for using GetGas?
Opening a GetGas account and using it is
entirely free. Bitget Wallet does not charge any additional fees for this service.
7. Why are gas fees higher when paying with GetGas?
Using GetGas involves exchanging your balance for main chain gas tokens and transferring them to you for on-chain transactions. This process generates additional gas fees for the transfer, which are included in your total gas cost.
As a result, the gas fees for transactions through GetGas are generally about twice as high as comapred to when paying directly with main chain gas token. For example, a direct gas fee on the BNB chain might cost approximately $0.05, while the fee using GetGas could be around $0.09.
8. Why do I see a small amount of main chain gas tokens in my wallet after using GetGas?
When using GetGas, the system exchanges your balance for the required main chain currency. Since on-chain gas fees fluctuate in real-time, the final transaction fee may be lower than initially estimated. Any unspent main chain currency will remain in your wallet as a balance.
9. If a transaction fails, will GetGas still deduct my balance?
Yes, the GetGas balance will still be deducted even if the on-chain transaction fails, as the gas fee is required to cover the operation costs of the on-chain process.
10. What is a Gas Voucher?
A Gas Voucher is a deduction voucher issued by Bitget Wallet for paying gas fees. Gas Vouchers cannot be transferred, purchased, or withdrawn. They are valid for 30 days and expire if unused within this period.
11. How are Gas Vouchers different from GASU?
Gas Vouchers will replace GASU as the main gas fee deduction mechanism. Once GetGas is activated, your existing GASU balance will automatically convert into Gas Vouchers and can be used immediately without any manual action.
12. How can I get a Gas Voucher?
Gas Vouchers cannot be purchased. They can only be obtained by participating in activities in the Bitget Wallet Reward center.
13. What about my USDT and BWB in my Rewards account?
The USDT and BWB in the reward account can still be withdrawn. These balances can also be transferred to GetGas and used to cover gas fees.
14. Why do authorization pop-ups appear when using GetGas?
GetGas is linked to your EVM address. If your wallet has been inactive for an extended period or if you switch devices, the system requires verification of your EVM address to activate GetGas. This verification process triggers an authorization pop-up.
15. What does "Pay gas fee in the transaction currency" mean?
This refers to paying gas fees using the token you are selling during a swap transaction. If your wallet lacks sufficient main chain coins or your GetGas balance is too low, Bitget Wallet will lend you gas through its Instant Gas service. This ensures that your transaction can proceed without interruption.
