Gas-Free Transactions

Definition

‘Gas-Free Transactions’ describes transactions on a blockchain network that do not require the user to directly pay a transaction fee, often referred to as “gas.” Instead, the cost of processing these transactions is typically subsidized by a third party, such as an application developer or a network operator. This model aims to improve user experience by abstracting away the complexity and cost associated with paying gas fees, thereby encouraging wider adoption of decentralized applications. It is a design choice intended to lower the barrier to entry for new users.
