Circle Paymaster has made updates aimed at simplifying fee payments shortly after rolling out a new solution for users.
What’s New with Circle Paymaster?
The Circle Paymaster service has been upgraded to support EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts), making it available for most cryptocurrency wallet users, such as MetaMask. Previously, users could only use Paymaster features with smart contract wallets. With the EIP-7702 upgrade, it is now feasible to pay gas fees in USDC instead of the native blockchain tokens.
Expansion to 7 Blockchains
Circle Paymaster is now expanding support across seven major blockchains, including: - Ethereum. - Arbitrum. - Base. - Optimism. - Polygon (PoS). - Avalanche. - Unichain. This makes transactions easier and eliminates the need for users to hold native tokens for fee payments.
Why It Matters?
The expansion of Circle Paymaster to EOAs and support for multiple blockchains simplifies cryptocurrency use. Users can avoid wallet errors and no longer need to buy native tokens to cover fees. This also facilitates the development of applications in Web3. > "Circle Paymaster now supports EOAs and is expanding to 7 blockchains!" — Circle.
