Most “gasless” blockchain experiences are not actually gasless.

The user may not pay the fee directly, but somewhere behind the scenes there is usually a relayer, an ERC-4337 paymaster, a bundler, or an off-chain service covering the transaction.

Those systems can work well, but they also introduce more infrastructure, more private keys, more failure points, and more contracts that need to be maintained and audited.

With Limonata, I wanted to try something different:

What if gas sponsorship was handled directly by the blockchain itself?
