Zero Gas Incentive
Gasless reward model to support developer adoption and reduce entry barriers.
The Zero Gas Incentive is a developer-focused economic mechanism introduced by Akashic Chain to lower the barrier to entry for projects and users, especially during the early stages of ecosystem onboarding. It is designed to offer gas-free interactions by subsidizing transaction costs and rewarding network contributors through a smart incentive layer.
This mechanism is particularly powerful for startups, community projects, and high-frequency applications like GameFi and SocialFi where traditional gas fees may discourage usage or experimentation.
How It Works
The Zero Gas Incentive operates as a protocol-level rebate and subsidy system, enabling certain types of transactions to be executed without requiring the user to pay gas upfront.
It leverages Akashic’s modular fee infrastructure, allowing the chain to:
Sponsor Gas on Behalf of Users Selected applications or contracts can trigger transactions with gas fees paid by a smart contract-based sponsor pool.
Reward Gas-Free Interactions with AKC Incentives Transactions that meet specific criteria (volume, impact, or ecosystem priority) can earn rebates or token rewards, making user participation economically beneficial.
Time-Limited Gas-Free Campaigns Akashic governance can launch targeted initiatives (e.g., during hackathons or dApp migrations) where gas fees are waived entirely for whitelisted users or smart contracts.
Technical Benefits
Boosts Developer Adoption Enables rapid testing and deployment of dApps without needing users to hold AKC upfront.
Improves UX for Non-Web3 Users Especially important for onboarding users unfamiliar with crypto wallets or gas mechanics.
Programmable Incentive Layer Fully customizable to reward specific behaviors like staking, liquidity provision, social engagement, or multi-chain bridging.
Composable with Other Systems Can integrate with DVS, CMQ, and UTN logic to support mission-critical applications such as intelligent agents and service delegation.
