Gas Credits

Gas credits provide a prepaid system for covering transaction fees on DI Network. Users can purchase credits using DI tokens or other supported assets, enabling seamless gasless transactions.

Overview

Gas credits are tokenized gas allowances that:

• Pre-fund transaction fees

• Enable predictable gas costs

• Support bulk purchasing at discounts

• Work across all supported networks

Credit System

Credit Units

• 1 Gas Credit = ~21,000 gas units (standard transfer)

• Credits automatically adjust for network gas prices

• Unused credits never expire

Purchasing Credits

// Purchase with DI tokens
await di.gasCredits.purchase({
  amount: 100, // 100 credits
  paymentToken: 'DI',
  recipient: userAddress
})

// Purchase with DUSD
await di.gasCredits.purchase({
  amount: 50,
  paymentToken: 'DUSD',
  recipient: userAddress
})

Pricing Model

Base Pricing

• 1 Credit = 0.1 DI tokens (at launch)

• Dynamic pricing based on network congestion

• Volume discounts for bulk purchases

Discount Tiers

Credits Purchased	Discount
100-499	5%
500-999	10%
1000-4999	15%
5000+	20%

Network-Specific Rates

Credits are automatically converted based on target network gas costs:

• Ethereum: 1 credit = ~21,000 gas

• Polygon: 1 credit = ~100,000 gas

• Arbitrum: 1 credit = ~50,000 gas

Credit Management

Balance Checking

const balance = await di.gasCredits.getBalance(userAddress)
console.log(`Available credits: ${balance}`)

Usage Tracking

const usage = await di.gasCredits.getUsageHistory(userAddress)
// Returns array of credit consumption events

Auto-Refill

Users can set up automatic credit purchases:

await di.gasCredits.setAutoRefill({
  threshold: 10, // Refill when below 10 credits
  amount: 100,   // Purchase 100 credits
  paymentToken: 'DI'
})

Credit Transfers

Gifting Credits

await di.gasCredits.transfer({
  to: recipientAddress,
  amount: 25,
  from: senderAddress
})

Corporate Accounts

Organizations can distribute credits to users:

• Bulk credit allocation

• Usage monitoring and limits

• Departmental credit pools

Integration Examples

Wallet Integration

// Check if user has sufficient credits
const requiredCredits = await di.estimateCredits(transaction)
const userCredits = await di.gasCredits.getBalance(userAddress)

if (userCredits < requiredCredits) {
  // Prompt user to purchase credits
  await promptCreditPurchase(requiredCredits - userCredits)
}

DApp Integration

// Sponsor user transactions
await di.gasCredits.sponsorTransaction({
  user: userAddress,
  transaction: txData,
  maxCredits: 5 // Maximum credits to spend
})

Credit Economics

Supply Management

• Credits are minted when purchased

• Credits are burned when used for gas

• No inflation - 1:1 gas consumption ratio

Revenue Distribution

Credit purchase fees are distributed to:

• 60% - DI token stakers

• 25% - Protocol treasury

• 15% - Relayer network incentives

Security Features
