Gas Sponsorship: Transfer and Trade Easily, No Gas Required
Key Takeaways
• OneKey Gas Sponsorship helps eligible users complete supported transactions without preparing native gas tokens in advance.
• Supported scenarios include token sends on Ethereum and Arbitrum, swaps through centralized channels, and USDC deposits to Perps on Arbitrum.
• Each user currently receives 10 sponsored transactions per day, subject to eligibility, availability, and fair-use checks.
• If Gas Sponsorship is unavailable, OneKey shows the standard network fee before signing so you can decide whether to continue.
Every transaction on a blockchain, including transfers and swaps, requires a network fee known as gas. Gas is usually paid in the chain’s native token, such as ETH. This creates a common problem: many users hold assets like USDC or USDT in their wallet, but cannot move them because they do not have enough ETH for gas.
Starting from OneKey App 6.5.0, OneKey introduces Gas Sponsorship. For eligible transactions, OneKey subsidizes the gas fee for you. You do not need to prepare gas in advance to complete supported transfers, participate in tokenized U.S. stock trading scenarios, or deposit funds into Perps.
Which scenarios are supported?
- Send: token transfers on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum
- Swap: swaps made through centralized channels
- Perps deposit: USDC deposits on Arbitrum
More networks and scenarios will be supported over time. Stay tuned for future updates.
How to use Gas Sponsorship
- Update the OneKey App to version 6.5.0 or above.
- Start a supported transaction, such as sending USDC on Ethereum.
- Select the Gas Sponsorship option in the network fee options.
- Confirm and sign. The transaction can be completed without ETH in your wallet.
Usage rules
- Each user receives 10 sponsored transactions per day. The quota resets automatically the next day.
- The subsidy covers the network fee for a single transaction. If a transaction exceeds the subsidy coverage, you will be prompted to pay the standard network fee yourself.
- Sponsorship opportunities are limited. If the sponsorship option is unavailable, you can still choose to pay the standard network fee yourself.
- Gas Sponsorship availability depends on eligibility, service availability, and fair-use checks. If it is unavailable, the standard network fee will be shown before signing.
OneKey Gas Sponsorship is designed to remove a common friction point for on-chain users. When supported, you can move assets or start trading from your self-custody wallet without first finding native gas tokens.
FAQ's
This is how Gas Sponsorship normally works. OneKey first transfers the gas needed for the transaction into your wallet, then completes your transaction. You may see two transaction records on the block explorer. This is expected.
No. The subsidy is issued based on an estimated upper limit. Any small amount left after the actual gas consumption is yours to keep.
You may have used up your daily sponsored transactions, or the current network or scenario may not be supported yet. You can choose to pay the standard network fee yourself.
