MetaMask has rolled out a groundbreaking feature designed to eliminate one of the most common frustrations in the Web3 world: running out of gas during transactions.

 

Many Web3 enthusiasts have faced the inconvenience of insufficient gas fees, which can derail time-sensitive transactions.

 

Without enough ETH to cover network fees, users have traditionally had to go through a tedious process of purchasing and transferring ETH via centralized exchanges—often at the cost of missing crucial on-chain opportunities.

 

This a new feature called Gas Station, allows users to swap tokens without needing ETH for gas fees.

 

When you swap on MetaMask, your gas can be paid with the token you're swapping.

 

Supported assets for gas-included swaps include USDT, USDC, DAI, ETH, wETH, wBTC, wstETH, and wSOL. However, the swap value must be sufficient to cover the network fees.

 

With Gas Station, MetaMask eliminates this bottleneck. The feature integrates gas fees directly into the transaction quotes users receive.

 

This streamlined approach allows users to complete their swaps swiftly without worrying about topping up their ETH balance.

 

Moreover, MetaMask ensures competitive pricing by aggregating data from decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregators, market makers, and individual DEXs, offering users a wide variety of liquidity sources and the lowest network fees.

 

Currently, Gas Station is available on the MetaMask browser extension for Ethereum mainnet, with a mobile release expected soon.
