Gasless staking refers to the ability to stake tokens without incurring transaction fees, often known as “gas fees.” When users stake their assets to help secure a network or participate in its governance, they typically need to spend a small amount of cryptocurrency to execute the required transactions. This can be a barrier for some users, especially during periods of high network congestion when fees can surge.By implementing gasless staking, projects enable users to stake their tokens without paying these fees directly. Instead, the costs may be covered by the platform itself, incentivized through rewards or alternative ways. This creates a more user-friendly experience and encourages participation by lowering the financial entry barrier.Gasless staking can also involve the use of smart contracts that optimize transactions or integrate solutions like meta-transactions, where a third party pays the fees on behalf of the user. This innovation not only simplifies the process of staking but also broadens access, making it easier for more individuals to engage in activities that contribute to network security and governance.
