Why is no one making chain abstracted, 100% gasless and non custodial apps? And how $S @SonicLabs is at the forefront of solving this! It mostly comes down to two things: 🔹Speed 🔹Economics 1⃣ Speed is basically solved To make a chain abstracted, gasless app work, the underlying chain has to feel instant. If your user is signing once and you are doing 3–5 transactions in the background. You can't have 5–10 seconds of lag on each hop. The UX falls apart. This is why you only really see this model becoming possible on chains that are: Fast finality High throughput Consistent under load Right now, chains like Sonic $S, $SUI and $SEI are leading that pack. So the speed side of the problem is almost done. 2⃣Economics is the real blocker "Make it 100% gasless" sounds nice, but someone is paying that gas. If you are building: 🔹Non custodial (funds always in user wallets) 🔹Gasless (user never sees/approves a gas token) 🔹Chain abstracted (user does not even know what chain they are on) Then the app itself almost always has to sponsor gas. On most L1s/L2s that is a losing game: ❌Fees are too high ❌There is no built-in way to earn back what you spend on gas So you end up either: 🔹Slapping on ugly fees 🔹Going custodial 🔹Or quietly degrading the UX That is why you don't see many full stack, 100% gasless, non custodial apps in the wild. It is not the idea that is missing. It is the economic engine behind it. This is where Sonic is different Sonic has something most chains don't: Fee monetization built into the L1 itself. If your contract is deployed on Sonic, 90% of the gas fees your contract generates are paid back to you at the protocol level. So if your app is sponsoring all user gas: ✅You pay 100% of the gas upfront ✅You get 90% rebated back via Sonic’s fee monetization 🔹Your real cost is only the remaining 10% Now the problem size has changed completely. We are no longer asking, "How do I cover 100% of user gas forever and not go broke?" We are asking, "How do I design a business model that covers the last 10%?" Offsetting the last 10% Once your true gas cost is ~10%, you have options: 🔹Small fee on yield / performance 🔹Partner revenue (orderflow, routing, listings) 🔹Premium features for power users You just need enough margin to plug that 10% hole. The chain (via fee monetization) is effectively co funding your UX. So why aren't more people building this? Because most people still think in the old model. But with near zero fees, high speed and L1-level fee monetization like Sonic's, the economics actually start to work. Speed is here. The economic primitive is here. What is missing is builders who design chain abstracted, 100% gasless, fully non custodial apps
