ETHGas Launches Open Gas Initiative, Pushing Ethereum to a Gas Future
ETHGas has announced the launch of the Open Gas Initiative (OGI) , advancing its mission to eliminate Gas Price to improve user experience, helping Ethereum transition to a real-time, Gas Price free economy. To date, Ethereum users have spent $30.3 billion on Gas Price on the network, highlighting the need for Gas Price to be transformed from a burden into a new growth driver for the entire ecosystem.
The Open Gas Initiative launch includes a mechanism that allows projects to subsidize Gas Price for users without requiring any additional code integration, increasing user retention, incentivizing high-value activities, and making Web3 transactions as smooth as Web2.
Introducing the Open Gas Initiative - a way for protocols to subsidize gas for users, zero-code, for a seamless, frictionless onchain experience.

A New Chapter for UX on Ethereum
ETHGas positions itself as just one part of a larger shift in the crypto industry: making Gas Price reduction a core feature of blockchain adoption.
Therefore, the Open Gas Initiative is an important first step towards ETHGas realizing its long-term mission, where Gas Price are no longer visible and require user attention, while projects compete with each other to provide the smoothest experience.
Projects participating in the OGI initiative can reimburse users for Gas Price in monthly installments, starting with ETH and potentially including the project’s own Token . Reimbursing Token can create deflationary pressure through market buybacks, as well as allow for automatic Token Staking , making the Gas Price subsidy a passive income strategy.
ETHGas currently supports Gas Price on Ethereum mainnet, with plans to expand to BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum in the near future.
Projects participating in the early stages of ETHGas
ETHGas said there will be four projects that will become partners of the Open Gas Initiative:
- EigenLayer
- Ether.fi
- Pendle
- Velvet Capital
These projects will begin subsidizing Gas Price for certain operations – such as depositing assets, Staking , and creating LP positions – to drive adoption and reward loyal users.
ETHGas has also received support from infrastructure providers including GasHawk, BlockNative, GoldSky, and ClickHouse, illustrating the growing industry alignment around streamlining Gas Price and forming a blockspace marketplace.
ETHGas said it is actively recruiting more partners as interest grows across the DeFi, reStaking , and institutional partner sectors.
How Open Gas Turns Rebates into a Growth Engine
The main mechanism behind ETHGas' Open Gas Initiative is called the Gasless Flywheel. It is a closed loop where the project funds Gas Price, users receive rebates, and both benefit from the protocol's operational growth.
Gasless Flywheel includes:
1. Attraction - users experience the protocol with cost barriers removed.
2. Incentivize - the project sponsors priority tasks like Staking or depositing.
3. Rewards - users receive monthly Gas Price rebates from initiative member protocols.
4. Repeat - users Chia the benefits they receive on social media, increasing awareness of the initiative and attracting more participants.
This model creates a mutually supportive loop that improves user experience while providing protocols with a way to drive increased TVL, liquidation , and engagement.
3-Phase Roadmap to Completely Eliminate Gas Price
ETHGas also sets out a clear roadmap for implementing the Open Gas Initiative:
Phase 1 - Management
Projects reward users monthly in the form of ETH Gas Price rebates. This phase focuses on high-impact tasks such as deposits, Staking, and liquidation contributions.
Phase 2 - Programming
Projects access tools to prioritize rewards for specific tasks like swapping assets, holding assets, or other specific tasks.
Phase 3 - Full Automation
Gas Price are becoming a non-issue in the transaction process. ETHGas will incorporate new standards like EIP-7702, allowing the project to completely eliminate gas without user intervention.
ETHGas likens Phase 3 of this roadmap as the moment when Ethereum becomes a real-time network, providing a user experience similar to Web2 without sacrificing the decentralized aspect.
Importance to users and projects
For users, Open Gas represents a shift from gas costs to rewards. Instead of suffering losses during peak network congestion, users can turn on-chain activity into a monthly rebate.
For the protocol, ETHGas says the initiative addresses two long-standing issues:
1. Difficulty in attracting users due to unstable gas phis.
2. Difficulty in incentivizing high-value tasks without diluting the Token supply.
By subsidizing Gas Price, protocols create a competitive advantage — especially in aspects like reStaking, structured products, and deposit vaults, where even small yield differences can impact participation decisions.
How to join the Open Gas Initiative
ETHGas has launched two portals to welcome users to join the Open Gas Initiative:
For protocol
Visit this link .
Then, complete the following steps:
- Enter contract address
- Estimated monthly Gas Price
- Select the task to fund gas
- Submit your application for immediate admission
For users
Visit this link .
Complete the following steps:
- Create a personal Gas Report
- XEM Gas Price spent
- Join Chapter 3: Sky-Castle Bounty
- Get rebates and tag projects to increase awareness of the Gasless Future campaign
ETHGas encourages users to pay attention to the protocols where they spend the most Gas Price , helping to signal demand for the next names to join OGI.
One Step Closer to a Gasless Future
With the Open Gas Initiative, ETHGas wants to bring the blockchain industry closer to a future where transactions are instant, predictable, and cost-effective for users.
As more protocols integrate gas funding and Ethereum moves towards eliminating Gas Price altogether, ETHGas believes the network will transition into a real-time economy where Gas Price will become a thing of the past.
