Bitget Wallet integrates EIP-7702, allowing users to pay gas fees in stablecoins
Quick Take Bitget Wallet integrated EIP-7702 to its product, allowing users to pay gas fees in stablecoins across eight major networks. This update is part of Bitget Wallet’s efforts to abstract away gas fees for better wallet user experience.
Crypto wallet provider Bitget Wallet has launched an update integrating an Ethereum Improvement Proposal to enable users to pay network transaction fees in stablecoins.
Powered by EIP-7702, users of the wallet service can now pay gas in USDT, USDC or BGB stablecoins across Ethereum, Solana, Base, TRON, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Optimism. Bitget said this is part of its "gas abstraction" initiative.
EIP-7702 allows an externally owned account (EOA) to temporarily function as a smart contract wallet, giving the address capabilities like transaction batching and gas sponsorship.
"This brings self-custody closer to the ease of centralized exchanges — users can transact across chains without ever managing gas tokens," said Jamie Elkaleh, chief marketing officer of Bitget Wallet.
Elkaleh noted that Bitget Wallet's new EIP integration works across both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, unlike other wallets that require smart account upgrades or support gas abstraction on only a few chains.
The launch immediately positions the product in direct competition with gas abstraction and Paymaster initiatives currently being tested by rival platforms, including MetaMask, OKX Wallet, and Base App, according to the press release.
