Gasless Transactions on Splendor

Some tokens on the Splendor Chain support gasless transactions. This means that users can send transactions without paying gas fees themselves—these fees are instead sponsored by network partners or dApps.

What Are Gasless Transactions?

A gasless transaction allows users to interact with the blockchain (for example, sending tokens or using a dApp) without needing to hold the native SPL token for transaction fees. Instead, a third party (called a relayer or sponsor) pays the gas on the user’s behalf.

This is especially useful for onboarding new users, improving user experience, and enabling seamless dApp interactions.

How Does It Work?

• When you use a gasless-enabled token or dApp, your transaction is signed and sent to a relayer.
• The relayer submits the transaction to the Splendor blockchain and pays the gas fee.
• The network partner or dApp may cover the cost, or use their own business model to sponsor these fees.

Supported ERC Standards

Splendor implements the ERC-2771 (Meta-Transactions) standard for gasless transactions. This is a widely adopted approach that allows relayers to submit transactions on behalf of users, while preserving the original sender’s address and intent.

• ERC-2771: Enables meta-transactions, where a trusted forwarder (relayer) wraps and submits the user’s transaction.
• This standard is compatible with many popular wallets and dApp frameworks.

Who Can Use Gasless Transactions?

• Any user interacting with supported tokens or dApps on Splendor.
• dApps and network partners can choose to sponsor fees for their users, making onboarding frictionless.

Benefits

• No SPL required for users: Great for new users who don’t yet own SPL tokens.
• Better UX: Users can interact with dApps without worrying about gas.
• Flexible business models: dApps can sponsor fees, run promotions, or subsidize onboarding.
