@GeniusOfficial the smallest friction in crypto is also the most absurd one. You hold an asset, you want to move it, and the chain tells you that you can't-not because you lack value,but because you lack the one specific token that pays for the moving. I keep n0ticing how much that single gap queitly ends trades before they start
Genius removes it in a way most people will never see. On EVM chains it uses EIP-7702 to sponsor your transaction when your account has no native token to cover gas. On Solana a feePayer wallet does the same. The trade just goes through. The plumbing pays for itself and settles up later
And Im not sure "'convenience" is the right word for what that is.It's closer to a removed assumption. Every wallet ever built assumed you'd arrive hOlding gas. Genius assumes you might not,and decides that shouldn't be the thing standing between you and an action
It isn't free everywhere, and they say so plainly-+a small premium on EVM, a different one on Solana, and two chains where you still need the native token in hand. Honest about where the abstraction stops.
What stays with me is how invisible the best infrasturcture becomes. You only notice gas when it blocks you. Remove it cleanly and the friction doesn't get celebrated,it just disappears, and disapearing is the whole point.
If the moment that used to stop you no longer happens, would you even remember it was ever there?
