      Gas Relayer Tiers

      AvaCloud’s new Gas Relayer Tiers allow users to select from four levels—Free, Starter, Pro, and Enterprise—tailored to meet varying transaction needs and network volumes.

      Why is this important?
      Gas-free transactions simplify the onboarding process for users unfamiliar with Web3, removing the need for them to hold gas tokens to interact with dApps. This is ideal for use cases like issuing NFTs or enabling actions in apps where end users may be unaware of blockchain mechanics. By providing a range of Gas Relayer Tiers, AvaCloud helps developers control gas costs based on their needs, ensuring cost efficiency, reliability, and ease of use for both dApp creators and their users.

      Who can use this?
      The Gas Relayer Tiers are available to all AvaCloud users with paid plans, with the Free tier accessible for low-transaction needs. The feature supports a wide range of developers and businesses, from those with minimal transaction needs to enterprises running high-volume dApps, especially those seeking to enhance user experience through gas-free interactions.

      How can you get started?

      To set up a Gas Relayer Tier:

      1. Log into AvaCloud and select the L1 where you need the relayer.
      2. Navigate to the "Gasless Transactions" tab of your L1.
      3. Select the tier—Free, Starter, Pro, or Enterprise—that matches your transaction volume and performance requirements.
      4. Complete the configuration to deploy your dedicated relayer node, fund the relayer wallet with gas tokens, and configure a trusted forwarder contract.

      Once set up, the gas relayer will handle all transaction gas costs on behalf of your users, based on the selected tier’s performance capacity.

      FAQs

      1. What is a gas relayer, and why should I use one?
        A gas relayer allows your app to cover gas costs for users, creating a smoother experience by abstracting gas token requirements. The relayer service relays signed transactions to the blockchain, following the EIP-2771 (meta transactions) standard.

      2. How does gas-free transaction tooling benefit my dApp?
        Gas-free transactions reduce friction, making it easier for users to interact with your dApp without needing gas tokens. This can improve user adoption, especially for audiences new to blockchain.

      3. Can I change my Gas Relayer Tier after setting it up?
        Yes, you can adjust your Gas Relayer Tier based on your needs; contact AvaCloud support if you require guidance on scaling up or down.

      4. What are the key differences between tiers?
        The tiers vary in terms of RPS, signers, and included features. Higher tiers like Pro and Enterprise offer more robust performance, enhanced metrics, and redundancy, supporting higher transaction volumes.
