Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • Gas fees play a major role in every transfer of tokens through smart contracts.
  • The proposed card-based gas fee payment is chosen as the user-friendly option.

Visa, an America-based multinational financial services corporation has brought an easier way of traditional payment services for the crypto industry. Post enabling auto payments for self-custodial wallets, Visa supports transactions towards blockchain gas fees. 

In a blog post published on Thursday, Visa said that testing of a mechanism that would enable customers to pay the on-chain gas fees in fiat currency through card payments had been completed. Taking use of the paymaster innovation, the business said their solution has passed all necessary tests on the Ethereum Goerli Testnet.

Easier Transaction

In the complex process of crypto transactions, gas fees play a major role in every transfer of tokens through smart contracts. Upon the work on rethinking digital transactions made with account abstraction, the  Visa card makes the transaction easier with Paymaster implementation. 

Also, the team aims to reduce friction on the blockchain with the conjunction of incorporating the paymaster concept with Account Abstraction. In this way, the proposed card-based gas fee payment evolves as a user-friendly option for digital transactions.  

The ERC-4337 core team implementation has stayed active on GitHub under GPL 3.0 license. Utilizing its own CyberSource, the developer team is supported by the needed SDKs and APIs. Though failing with the discrepancies, the proposed solution brings decentralized applications (dApps) for gas fee acceptance using Visa card payments.
