Key Takeaways
- Bitget Wallet enables users to pay transaction fees with stablecoins or BGB across multiple blockchains.
- The update leverages EIP-7702 and supports major EVM chains, Solana, and TRON, aiming to simplify crypto transactions.
Bitget Wallet, a self-custody, multi-chain web3 wallet designed for crypto investors to manage their digital assets, now supports gas abstraction across major chains, enabling users to pay transaction fees using stablecoins like USDT and USDC, or the platform’s native token BGB, according to a Tuesday statement.
The crypto wallet has implemented EIP-7702 to allow gas fee payments directly with stablecoins across major EVM-compatible chains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, as well as the Solana and TRON networks.
“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.”
The system automatically deducts fees quoted in USDT, USDC, or BGB during transaction execution, eliminating the need for separate gas account funding. On Solana, the platform utilizes the native Paymaster model, while TRON implementation leverages an energy leasing mechanism.
The update builds upon Bitget Wallet’s GetGas feature, which previously allowed users to pre-fund gas fees with multiple tokens across 14 networks. The wallet currently supports cross-chain operations across 24 blockchains, with plans to extend gas abstraction to cross-chain transactions.
Additional network support for platforms including Plasma, Sei, and Morph is currently under development.
