Gas Abstraction

Definition

Gas abstraction is a technical concept in blockchain networks that aims to simplify the user experience by separating the payment of transaction fees from the user’s direct interaction with the underlying native token. It allows users to pay for gas in any token, or even have a third party subsidize the fees. This innovation seeks to remove a significant barrier to entry for new users and improve application usability. It involves smart contract wallets and account abstraction mechanisms.
