XION is the first Layer 1 blockchain designed for mainstream users without the need for a wallet. Today, XION officially launched the USDC Gas fee function, allowing users to directly pay transaction fees with USDC without obtaining or exchanging the native token $XION.
With this feature, XION users will no longer face complex wallet configurations, asset cross-chain, or token management issues. Users only need to pay transaction fees with USDC (a stable and widely accepted cryptocurrency), and the rest of the operations will be automatically completed by the protocol. The system will automatically convert USDC to $XION in the background to support ecosystem operations, and this process is completely imperceptible to users.
By eliminating this key barrier, XION significantly improves user experience and takes another step towards its vision of "making crypto technology invisible", simplifying Web3 to the point where users don't need to think about blockchain at all. This is one of the reasons why XION can successfully convert 97% of new users, while the industry average conversion rate is only 5%.
"Web3 is still terrible for most people," said XION founder Anthony Anzalone (aka Burnt Banksy), "If a person wants to try a new application, they usually have to first figure out what token the chain uses, buy it on an exchange, cross-chain, and possibly even wrap tokens, then hope nothing goes wrong. Most people give up at the first step. XION eliminates all of this."
With XION's USDC Gas fee function, users only need to pay transaction fees with USDC without purchasing or managing the native token $XION. The protocol will automatically convert USDC to $XION in the background to complete settlement, without requiring any additional operations or technical knowledge from users. This seamless experience not only supports the entire ecosystem but also greatly simplifies the process, allowing users to enjoy an intuitive and smooth blockchain interaction while maintaining the core mechanisms of the underlying chain.
Allowing USDC to pay for Gas fees marks a fundamental change in blockchain usability. By supporting users to transact with familiar currency, XION significantly lowers the entry barrier and helps users who might have given up due to complex processes to smoothly access Web3.
"You have a dollar, and now you can use that dollar to buy, spend, or even develop," Anzalone said, "Web3 should serve real users, not just crypto veterans."
This feature launch coincides with Circle's announcement of an IPO, further highlighting the strategic synergy between XION and Circle. As a key investor in XION, Circle's involvement also enhances the platform's credibility and real-world applicability. The feature is now officially online and open to all users.
