Sponsored UserOps
Sponsored Userops is an innovative approach to managing blockchain transaction fees. By shifting the responsibility for gas fees from end-users to designated sponsors, this solution transforms user experiences and fosters broader adoption of decentralized applications. With Sponsored Userops, developers can design seamless, user-friendly experiences while maintaining the security and efficiency of blockchain operations.
Understanding Sponsored Userops
At its core, Sponsored Userops addresses a common challenge in blockchain interactions: gas fees. Every transaction on a blockchain requires a fee, which can be a hurdle for new users or for applications aiming to deliver frictionless experiences. Sponsored Userops solve this problem by enabling a third-party sponsor to cover these fees. This is achieved through a mechanism called a paymaster, which validates transactions and pays the associated gas fees on behalf of the user.
How It Works
User Initiates a Transaction The user sends a transaction without worrying about the underlying gas fees.
Transaction Bundling The system aggregates these transactions using a bundler. Our Gelato Bundler efficiently organizes and processes multiple operations at once, streamlining the entire workflow.
Paymaster Activation Once bundled, the transaction is forwarded to a paymaster. The paymaster is responsible for verifying the transaction's legitimacy and covering its gas fee, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted user experience.
Fee Sponsorship The sponsor funds the gas fees, allowing the user to interact with the blockchain without needing to hold any tokens for each transaction.
Benefits of Sponsored Userops
Enhanced User Experience Users enjoy seamless interactions without the distraction of fee management, making blockchain technology accessible to a broader audience.
Developer Focus Developers can concentrate on building innovative applications instead of grappling with complex fee structures and gas optimizations.
Increased Adoption By removing the barrier of transaction fees, Sponsored Userops encourage more users to explore decentralized applications, driving mass adoption.
Improved Efficiency With transactions processed in bundles and fees managed by the paymaster, the entire system becomes more efficient and scalable.
Available Sponsorship Methods
To support diverse use cases and network requirements, our system offers two primary sponsorship methods integrated with the Gelato Bundler:
1. 1Balance
1Balance operates as the Gelato Gas Tank, This model enables multichain gas sponsorship by allowing the sponsor to cover fees for various networks from a single funding source.
2. Zerodev Paymaster
Zerodev Paymaster is a flexible sponsorship solution accessible directly via the Zerodev dashboard. This method allows sponsors to manage gas fees on various supported networks through a user-friendly interface.
