Bitget Wallet adopts EIP-7702 and allows paying fees with stablecoins
- Users can pay gas with stablecoins on 8 networks
- EIP-7702 Integration Expands Bitget Wallet Capabilities
- Update aims to simplify the self-custody experience
Bitget Wallet announced the integration of EIP-7702, a major update that allows users to pay gas fees directly with stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and BGB. The new feature is available on eight major blockchains—Ethereum, Solana, Base, TRON, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Optimism—and marks a step forward in so-called "gas abstraction," which aims to make transactions simpler and more accessible.
The EIP-7702 proposal temporarily transforms an externally owned account (EOA) into a smart contract wallet, enabling operations such as batching multiple transactions and fee sponsorship. This allows Bitget Wallet users to make transactions without having to hold each network's native tokens just to cover gas costs, a common limitation in traditional wallets.
According to Jamie Elkaleh, Marketing Director at Bitget Wallet, the integration
“brings self-custody closer to the ease of centralized exchanges — users can transact across chains without ever managing gas tokens.”
He further highlighted that support covers both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems, which significantly expands the reach of the update compared to competing solutions.
With this implementation, Bitget Wallet now competes directly with similar gas abstraction initiatives and Paymaster, currently being tested by platforms such as MetaMask, OKX Wallet, and Base App. The company stated that its goal is to eliminate technical barriers that hinder the daily use of Web3 wallets, offering a more fluid experience that is compatible with the standards expected by users of centralized exchanges.
The integration of EIP-7702 also reflects a growing trend among crypto infrastructure providers in 2025: adopting solutions that hide the operational complexity of the blockchain, without compromising security and user control. By enabling fee payments in stablecoins, Bitget Wallet adds a layer of convenience that could attract new adopters to self-custody, especially at a time when interoperability and ease of use are becoming key factors in the adoption of Web3 wallets.
