What is gas, and how will Safe{Wallet} handle it?
Gas is the network's cost for processing a transaction onchain. Safe{Wallet} will soon handle gas for you through gas abstraction — you will no longer need native tokens in your signing wallet. Gas costs will be covered directly from your Safe balance.
This means you won't have to fund additional signing wallets with ETH or other native tokens, reducing operational overhead. Signing wallets are for signing — your Safe handles the rest.
Which networks will support gas abstraction?
Gas abstraction will be progressively rolled out on the following networks:
Ethereum
Base
BNB
Arbitrum
If you would like to see additional networks supported, contact support@safe.global.
Will I still need ETH or native tokens in my signing wallet?
No. Once gas abstraction launches, transactions will be relayed gaslessly — gas costs will be covered directly from your Safe balance. Safe will handle the rest. You will no longer need to hold native tokens in your signing wallet.
Which tokens will I be able to use to pay gas fees?
At launch, any ERC-20 token held in your Safe will be usable for gas payment — there will be no restricted allowlist.
Will gas abstraction apply if I'm using Safe through WalletConnect or a third-party interface?
Gas abstraction will apply to transactions executed through the Safe{Wallet} interface.
Why is Safe{Wallet} changing how gas works?
Safe{Wallet} secures $60B+ in onchain assets. Gas abstraction will simplify the user experience — no more failed transactions because your signing wallet ran out of ETH or native token. This model aligns with Safe's core value: making secure transactions seamless.
