XION launched the USDC Gas fee feature to simplify the Web3 experience for ordinary users
XION is the first wallet-free Layer 1 blockchain tailored for mainstream users. Today, XION officially launched the USDC Gas fee feature, which allows users to pay transaction fees directly with USDC without having to acquire or exchange the native token $XION.
With this feature, XION users will no longer face cumbersome wallet configuration, asset cross-chain, or token management issues. Users only need to pay transaction fees using USDC, a stable and widely accepted cryptocurrency, and the protocol does the rest. The system will automatically convert USDC to $XION in the background to support the operation of the ecosystem, and this process is completely imperceptible to users.
By removing this key hurdle, XION significantly improves the user experience and takes another step towards its vision of "making crypto invisible" by simplifying Web3 to the point where users don't even have to think about blockchain. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY XION IS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CONVERT 97% OF NEW USERS, COMPARED TO THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE OF JUST 5%.
"Web3 is still terrible for most people," said XION founder Anthony Anzalone, aka Burnt Banksy, "If a person wants to try a new application, they usually have to figure out what tokens the chain uses, buy them on exchanges, cross-chain, maybe even wrap tokens, and then pray that the process doesn't go wrong." Most people give up as early as the first step. XION saves all of that."
With the USDC Gas fee feature launched by XION, users only need to pay transaction fees with USDC, without having to buy or manage the native token $XION. The protocol will automatically convert USDC to $XION in the background to complete the settlement, without any additional operation or technical knowledge of the user. This seamless experience not only supports the operation of the entire ecosystem, but also greatly simplifies the use process, allowing users to enjoy an intuitive and smooth blockchain interaction experience, while retaining the core mechanism of the underlying chain.
Allowing USDC to pay for gas marks a fundamental shift in the availability of blockchains. By enabling users to transact in familiar currencies, XION significantly lowers the barrier to entry and enables users who might otherwise have given up on Web3 due to complex processes.
"You have a dollar, and you can use it right now to buy, spend, and even develop," Anzalone said, "Web3 should serve real users, not just veterans of the crypto world."
The launch comes as Circle announces its IPO and further highlights the strategic synergy between XION and Circle. As a significant investor in XION, Circle's participation also strengthens the platform's credibility and real-world applicability. This feature is now officially available to all users.
