Circle Internet Financial, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, released an upgraded version of its Web3 programmable encrypted wallet on Thursday. The wallet allows merchants to take over and pay for their customers' transaction fees. According to the press release, this new feature called "Gas Station" allows businesses to use ERC-4337 to pay people to sponsor users' gas fees - the cost of transferring on the blockchain. Circle says the feature was initially launched on the Polygon (MATIC) mainnet and testnet, as well as the Ethereum (ETH) testnet, and will later be expanded to more blockchains.
