Bitget Wallet has launched a major upgrade that enables users to pay gas fees using stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and BGB instead of network-native tokens, thanks to the integration of Ethereum's EIP-7702. This feature works across eight major blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, TRON, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Optimism, supporting both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems.
The implementation allows externally owned accounts to temporarily gain smart wallet capabilities, such as transaction batching and gas sponsorship, without requiring account upgrades or structural changes. This reduces the need for users to hold native tokens like ETH for gas, streamlining cross-chain transactions and enhancing accessibility for new and experienced users alike.
Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget Wallet, emphasized that this innovation bridges the gap between decentralized and centralized platforms, offering self-custody wallets the convenience previously found only in centralized exchanges. The update is expected to reduce transaction delays, lower operational costs, and foster broader adoption by eliminating one of the main friction points in blockchain use.
Bitget Wallet's approach positions it in competition with other wallets like MetaMask, OKX Wallet, and Base App, but its broad chain coverage and stablecoin payment options provide a more unified solution. This could encourage developers to build more user-friendly applications and increase stablecoin transaction volumes across the crypto ecosystem.
