⛽ Custom Gas Tokens
Custom Gas Tokens transform how users interact with the Cedra blockchain by enabling transaction fee payments in any whitelisted token. This groundbreaking feature eliminates the barrier of needing native CED tokens, opening the network to mainstream adoption.
Custom gas tokens are fungible assets deployed on Cedra that have been approved for transaction fee payments. Instead of requiring users to hold CED tokens for gas, they can use familiar stablecoins like USDT or USDC, or even project-specific tokens.
