⛽Open Gas
Eliminate Gas Fees. Drive Onchain Adoption.
Overview
Open Gas is an industry-wide initiative led by ETHGas to eliminate gas fees from the end-user experience and make interacting with Ethereum seamless.
Through Open Gas, participating protocols sponsor gas rebates for specific on-chain actions such as deposits, staking, or liquidity provision. Users can accumulate rebates across multiple protocols and claim them in a single dashboard.
For users, this reduces the friction of interacting with DeFi.
For protocols, it turns gas from a barrier into a powerful incentive for growth.
Gas rebates are aggregated monthly and paid in ETH on Ethereum mainnet, with support for additional chains such as BNB Chain and Base coming soon.
Open Gas is launching with a group of leading Ethereum protocols that are sponsoring gas rebates for their users.

How Open Gas Works
Open Gas works like a monthly cashback program for gas fees.
Explore participating protocols and the actions eligible for gas rebates.
Interact with those protocols on Ethereum (e.g. deposit, stake, or delegate).
ETHGas tracks eligible transactions across all partner protocols.
On the next claim cycle, users can batch-claim their gas rebates in one gasless transaction.
Withdraw claimed rebates to your wallet at any time.
This allows users to interact with multiple protocols while earning back a portion of the gas they spent.
Benefits for DeFi Users
Lower the cost of participating in DeFi.
Open Gas rewards users for interacting with protocols by returning a portion of the gas spent on eligible actions.
Key benefits:
Earn ETH gas rebates from multiple protocols
Batch-claim rewards in a single gasless transaction
Discover new DeFi opportunities through participating protocols
Reduce the friction of interacting on Ethereum
Gas rebates accumulate across protocols and can be claimed from the Open Gas dashboard. Claim Your Gas Rebates
If you’ve interacted with a participating protocol, you may already have rebates waiting to be claimed.
Check your eligibility and claim your rewards from the Open Gas dashboard.
Benefits for Protocol Partners
Turn gas fees into a growth engine.
Gas costs are one of the biggest sources of friction for new users entering DeFi. Open Gas allows protocols to subsidize specific user actions and make their onboarding experience more attractive.
With Open Gas, protocols can:
Incentivize specific actions such as deposits or liquidity provision
Attract new users through gas rebates
Improve user retention and activity
Gain visibility through the Open Gas partner ecosystem
ETHGas handles the infrastructure including rebate tracking, dashboards, and claims — allowing protocols to participate with zero technical integration required. Design Your Gas Rebates
Protocols can easily launch a gas rebate program using ETHGas’s self-service estimator.
Simply input your protocol’s contract addresses to analyze user activity and identify which contract functions you would like to subsidize.
From there you can design a rebate structure aligned with your growth goals, such as encouraging users to:
deposit assets
add liquidity
stake or delegate
interact with specific pools
ETHGas will automatically track eligible transactions and distribute rebates to users.

The Path to a Gasless Future
Open Gas is designed as a multi-phase initiative to remove gas fees from the user experience while creating sustainable incentives for protocols.
Phase 1 — Protocol Sponsored Gas Protocols temporarily subsidize gas fees for key user actions such as deposits or staking.
Phase 2 — Protocol-Native Gas Protocols integrate gas costs into their existing fee models, allowing gas to be offset by protocol revenue.
Phase 3 — Fully Automated Gas Markets ETHGas automates the entire system through on-chain infrastructure, enabling gasless transactions and realtime blockspace markets.
