Gasless Transactions

Learn how to execute transactions on DI Network without holding native blockchain tokens for gas fees using meta transactions and gas credits.

Gasless Overview

What are Gasless Transactions?

Gasless transactions allow you to interact with DI Network without needing ETH, MATIC, or other native tokens for gas fees. Instead, you can:

• Use Gas Credits: Pre-purchased transaction credits

• Pay with DI Tokens: Use DI tokens for gas payments

• Sponsored Transactions: Protocol covers gas costs

• Meta Transactions: Relayers execute on your behalf

Benefits

• Lower Barrier to Entry: No need for native tokens

• Simplified UX: Focus on DI Network tokens only

• Cost Predictability: Fixed credit costs vs volatile gas

• Cross-Chain Consistency: Same experience across chains

Gas Credits System

How Gas Credits Work

Gas credits are tokenized gas allowances:

• 1 Credit ≈ 21,000 gas units (standard transfer)

• Auto-Adjustment: Credits scale with network gas prices

• No Expiration: Credits never expire

• Cross-Chain: Work on all supported networks

Purchasing Gas Credits

Gas Credit Purchase Interface:
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Purchase Gas Credits                │
│ Amount: 100 credits                 │
│ Payment: DI Tokens                  │
│ Cost: 10 DI (0.1 DI per credit)    │
│ Discount: 5% (bulk purchase)       │
│ Final Cost: 9.5 DI                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘

Credit Pricing

Credits	Price per Credit	Discount	Total Cost
1-99	0.1 DI	0%	0.1 DI each
100-499	0.095 DI	5%	9.5-47.4 DI
500-999	0.09 DI	10%	45-89.9 DI
1000+	0.08 DI	20%	80+ DI

Using Gasless Transactions

Step-by-Step Process

1. Enable Gasless Mode: Toggle gasless transactions in settings

2. Check Credit Balance: Ensure sufficient credits available

3. Execute Transaction: Perform normal DI Network operations

4. Automatic Deduction: Credits automatically consumed

5. Transaction Completion: Operation completes without native gas

Gasless Transaction Types

Supported Operations:

Meta Transaction System

How Meta Transactions Work

1. User Signs: Create and sign transaction off-chain

2. Relayer Submission: Relayer submits to blockchain

3. Gas Payment: Relayer pays gas, gets reimbursed

4. Execution: Transaction executes on user's behalf

Meta Transaction Flow

User Action → Meta Transaction → Relayer → Blockchain
     ↓              ↓              ↓          ↓
  Sign TX    →  Submit to     →  Pay Gas  →  Execute
             →  Relayer Pool  →  & Submit →  on Chain

Relayer Network

Relayer Selection:

• Reputation-Based: Higher reputation = priority

• Fee-Based: Competitive pricing

• Geographic: Regional relayers for speed

• Redundancy: Multiple relayers for reliability

Payment Methods

DI Token Payments

Direct Gas Payment:

• Pay gas fees directly with DI tokens

• 20% discount compared to native token costs

• Automatic conversion at current rates

• No need to hold multiple tokens

Sponsored Transactions

Protocol Sponsorship:

Credit Auto-Refill

Automatic Top-Up:

// Set up auto-refill
await gasCredits.setAutoRefill({
  threshold: 10,        // Refill when below 10 credits
  amount: 100,          // Purchase 100 credits
  paymentToken: 'DI',   // Pay with DI tokens
  maxPrice: 0.12        // Maximum price per credit
})
