# Open Gas
Eliminate Gas Fees. Drive Onchain Adoption.
{% hint style="info" %}
September 2026 marked the end of the final Open Gas rebate cycle.
{% endhint %}
### Overview
[Open Gas](https://www.ethgas.com/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.
**Launch partners include:**
* [EigenCloud](/program/open-gas/eigencloud.md)
* [Ether.fi](/program/open-gas/ether.fi.md)
* [ETHGas Foundation](/program/open-gas/ethgas-foundation.md)
* [Pendle](/program/open-gas/pendle.md)
* [f(x) Protocol](/program/open-gas/f-x-protocol.md)
*Click the individual protocol page to view their rebate details.*

### How Open Gas Works
**Open Gas works like a monthly cashback program for gas fees.**
1. Explore participating protocols and the actions eligible for gas rebates.
2. Interact with those protocols on Ethereum (e.g. deposit, stake, or delegate).
3. ETHGas tracks eligible transactions across all partner protocols.
4. On the next claim cycle, users can batch-claim their gas rebates in one gasless transaction.
5. Withdraw claimed rebates to your wallet.
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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.ethgas.com/program/open-gas.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
