Rates can now be paid without having Ether or BNB.
Flexgas, for now, is enabled for operations in the same network.
Trust Wallet, one of the most used wallets in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, enabled Flexgas. It is a tool that allows you to pay transaction fees using stablecoins such as USDC and USDTas well as with your native TWT token (Trust Wallet Token).

Additionally, Flexgas “is promoted by the proposal EIP-7702,” as detailed in the statement.
In this context, Flexgas operates as a layer that allows to redirect the payment of commissions to coins other than the native asset of the network. This is possible thanks to the recent technical improvement EIP-7702, a proposal implemented with Pin on Ethereum that provides external accounts (EOA) to function as intelligent contracts, allowing, among other things, to include gas payments with tokens other than Ether.
However, although this type of implementations contribute to simplifying the use of self -limited purses, they also add vulnerable spaces that are exploited by scammers and hackers, as Cryptoics explained.
