Tokenum

First ever cross-chain gassless token generation platform

We've spent a while here explaining why needing a gas token is a problem.

The service that removes it goes public soon.

Not long now!

Our favourite payment metric is completed payments ÷ started payments. It puts abandoned flows in the picture. We'd track the fee-funding step alongside it to see where people get stuck. Every extra step deserves scrutiny. 📊

Suppose sponsoring a user's first transfer costs $0.03. We'd compare that with the users lost at the gas-funding step. Fee sponsorship belongs in the onboarding budget, with limits and a clear way to measure results. 🧮

Good infrastructure removes unnecessary steps, explains fees in plain language, and shows people what they are approving.

A transaction can be secure and still be hard to use.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Cheap gas is good.

Not having to think about gas is better UX.

Those are different problems.

The ECB launched Pontes, bringing central bank money into the settlement of tokenized assets.

The interesting part isn’t whether finance moves on-chain anymore, but how much blockchain complexity users and institutions will actually have to see.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

A new user wants to use your dApp. They don’t want a lesson on gas limits, native currencies and network fees first.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

You sign the message. A relayer validates and submits the transaction while handling the associated gas. The blockchain stays underneath.

This is how we make the annoying part stop being the user’s problem.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Ethereum opened an enormous world of applications, assets and smart contracts.

Our interest is simply to make interacting with that world less dependent on users thinking about gas.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Gasless doesn’t mean the blockchain stops charging fees.

It means you no longer make the user have to manage them. Instead, a relayer can handle the transaction and gas behind the scenes.

This is far less friction at the interface.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Holding a chain's native token should not be the price of entry to anything built on it.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Building infrastructure means most of your best work is invisible by design.

L2s made gas cheap, but they didn't make it optional.

Cheap fuel and no fuel are different problems.

Wallet connect: 1,000 users.
First successful transaction: 340.

Every team has some version of this gap and blames the UI. It's usually not the UI. Or at least not just.

Some airdrop math:

Claim costs $3 in gas.
Allocation is worth $17.

Even small holders skip it. Those were the people you built the campaign for.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

$250 of USDC in the wallet. Wallet says you need TRX to move it. But you don't have TRX.

Ten years in and we still tell people this is normal.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

A project sends you $12 in tokens. Claiming them costs $9 in gas. So the allocation sits there until it expires, and the distribution the team paid for never reaches the people it was meant for.

[Tokenum @tokenum]

Fee-heavy chains price out small payments, and small payments are most payments for most people on earth.

Arbitrum cut fees to cents. You still need ETH sitting on Arbitrum to spend them. Cheap gas and no gas are different problems.
