Gas in any token

Note: This feature is not live yet in goodcryptoX. It’s part of upcoming Smart Contract Wallet functionality we plan to roll out on EVM chains in the coming months

One of the biggest usability challenges in Web3 is gas fees: every blockchain requires you to hold its native token (ETH, BNB, etc.) to pay for transactions. Smart Contract Wallets introduce a solution through Paymasters.


What Paymasters are

A Paymaster is a third party that sponsors your transaction on-chain. Instead of you paying gas directly in the native token, the Paymaster covers it and accepts payment from you in another token (for example, USDC or USDT).


How it works in practice

  • Fund your wallet with USDC, USDT, or another supported token

  • When you trade, the gas cost (plus a ~5% markup) is deducted in that token

  • The Paymaster pays the required native token (e.g., ETH) on your behalf.

Example:

You deposit 100 USDT and make a swap. Instead of needing ETH for gas, the Paymaster deducts the fee in USDT, while paying ETH on-chain on your behalf.


Why it matters

This unlocks several benefits:

  • No need to manage native tokens — you can start trading immediately after funding your wallet with stablecoins.

  • Bots that never stop — DCA and Grid bots, or any automated strategy won’t suddenly fail because they ran out of gas. If one token runs low, another can be used automatically.

  • Flexible priorities — you’ll be able to set rules such as:

    • “Use my native token first”

    • “Then use USDC, then USDT”

    • “Never touch my BTC”


What’s next

  • On EVM chains, Paymaster support is expected to go live in the coming months.

  • On Solana, fee sponsorship already exists, but generalized token-based gas payments are still under development.


👉 With Paymasters, gas fees stop being a headache. You’ll be able to pay in the tokens you already hold, keeping bots running smoothly and trading as seamless as possible.
