What is gas fee sponsoring?
Last updated: April 13, 2026
Safe creation and execution of transactions are sponsored by Gnosis Chain for a limited amount of time. We facilitate this by processing your transaction with Gelato via their "relay" service.
What are the benefits of gasless transactions?
Free Safe creation and usage
No gas needed
No gas admin
No last signer apathy
How often can I relay?
Gnosis Chain sponsors up to five transactions per hour. After that threshold is reached, if you intend to transact on Gnosis Chain, you need to use a connected owner key or wait for an hour.
How do gasless transactions work for Safe context on Gnosis Chain?
We route your transaction via our transaction service to Gelato. From there Gelato executes your transaction on-chain.
Safe uses Gelato’s 1Balance Relay service, funded by Gnosis Chain.
What do I need to do to experience gasless transactions?
Just execute a transaction on Gnosis Chain and the gas will be sponsored automatically. Nothing else changes in your usual workflow besides not having to pay network fees.
How secure is the solution?
The only difference to “normal” transactions is that you do not pay the network fee. Your signed transaction is forwarded to Gelato. It can therefore not be tampered with or altered. It is only executed on your behalf.
