Latest Bitget Wallet Innovation: Pay Gas with Stables?!

On October 21, Bitget Wallet rolled out a gas abstraction system that allows users to pay transaction fees using stablecoins or its native BGB token, removing the need to hold blockchain-specific gas tokens, and thereby reducing user friction at the lowest level.

Paying Gas Fees with Stablecoins

The non-custodial wallet now supports gas payments in USDT, USDC, or BGB across Solana, TRON, and several EVM-compatible networks. This means users no longer need to maintain separate balances of ETH, SOL, TRX, or other native tokens to execute transactions.

The system works natively within the wallet interface. When users initiate a token transfer or decentralized swap, gas fees are quoted in their chosen stablecoin and automatically deducted from their balance at the time of execution.

Supported Networks

The gas abstraction feature currently works on:

• Ethereum
• BNB Chain
• Base
• Polygon
• Arbitrum
• Optimism
• Solana
• TRON

Additional chains including Plasma, Sei Network, and Morph are being added to the system, but further updates and timelines are yet to emerge.

Technical Implementation

Bitget Wallet uses different infrastructure approaches depending on the blockchain:

EVM networks utilize EIP-7702, which allows externally owned accounts to delegate execution to smart contract logic, enabling stablecoin gas payments.

Solana implements the native Paymaster model to process transactions without requiring SOL.

TRON uses an energy leasing mechanism to handle gas costs without TRX.

"Abstracting gas payments is a foundational step toward making self-custody usable at scale," said Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget Wallet. "It removes one of the most persistent frictions in Web3 — the need to manage native gas tokens across fragmented ecosystems."

Building on GetGas

This update expands Bitget Wallet's existing GetGas feature, which lets users pre-fund gas fees across 14 networks using USDT, USDC, ETH, or BGB. The new system goes further by eliminating the pre-funding step entirely, with fees deducted directly from stablecoin balances during transactions.

The wallet supports cross-chain swaps and transfers across 24 blockchains. Future updates will extend gas abstraction to cross-chain transactions.
