⚡ Why Web3 Needs a Blockchain With Near-Zero Gas Fees (That Still Pays Validators) 🔥
Gasless UX is the holy grail of Web3.
But here’s the dilemma:
No gas = no income for validators = no security.
So how do you remove gas fees for users without compromising decentralization or validator incentives?
Here’s how it works:
In this next-gen chain is a smart contract called GasStation — a treasury that covers gas fees on behalf of the user.
But this isn’t just a free-for-all. It’s governed by the people.
• The DAO owns the GasStation
• The community decides whose gas gets paid
• Through transparent votes, the DAO can whitelist:
• Smart contracts (e.g. DeFi, gaming, AI tools)
• Wallets (e.g. new users, devs, grant recipients)
• Specific transaction types (e.g. voting, staking, onboarding)
• And here’s the kicker: Every gas sponsorship is time-bound, capped, or even permanent — it can be:
• For 30 days
• For 10,000 transactions
• Up to a set gas amount
• Or even forever, if the DAO sees long-term value
If sponsorship expires, projects or users can reapply, and if the community believes it’s still impactful, it can be renewed again.
But who pays the validators?
You guessed it — GasStation does.
And it stays funded through:
• Donation Validators – a special class that donates 80% of gas fees in exchange for bigger block rewards
• Protocol-level fee sharing — 20% of every non-sponsored transaction’s gas fee goes directly to GasStation
• DAO treasury top-ups when needed
• Future AI-based monitoring that predicts depletion and suggests actions
What this unlocks:
• Web2-level UX with Web3 power
• dApps that don’t need users to buy gas tokens
• Mass onboarding for DeFi, social, gaming, NFTs, even public goods
• DAO-driven control over what’s free and for how long
• A sustainable validator economy — not sacrificed for UX
Web3 doesn’t need to be expensive.
It just needs to be smarter — and governed by its users.
Something extraordinary is brewing.
Stay tuned…
