Dynamic Gas

Removing barriers to entry to the Sui Ecosystem

One of the most frustrating aspects of onboarding to a new blockchain ecosystem is obtaining the native token to pay for transactions. In order to provide a seamless experience for our users who are new to the Sui ecosystem, Aftermath built Dynamic Gas.

Dynamic Gas allows users to use coins other than SUI to pay for gas to perform any transaction on Aftermath. This functionality is made possible by two Sui-native features: Sponsored Transactions and Programmable Transactions. Essentially how it works is that Aftermath sponsors the transaction with SUI, and takes payment from the user in the coin of their choice, all in one action and totally abstracted from the user.

Dynamic Gas supports multiple stable coins and Sui ecosystem tokens. To choose which gas token you would like to use, click the gas pump icon on right side of the Menu Bar at the top of the screen.

You can now select which coin you would like to use to pay for transactions. Check the "Show Zero Balance" box to see the full list of supported coins, even those you do not have in your wallet.

Select any asset you have a balance of. An icon will appear showing you which asset you currently are using as gas if it is something other than SUI. If you choose an asset you have no balance of, you will not be able to perform transactions.
