How Paymaster works
According to Circle’s blog post, Paymaster maintains balances of native coins used for gas (presently ETH on Arbitrum and Base), accepts USDC payments, and then pays using the native gas coin on the backend.
The application then rebalances its reserve of native gas coins.
While the service’s availability is currently limited to accounts controlled by smart contracts, Circle plans to expand to externally owned accounts (accounts owned by private keys) after the Ethereum Pectra upgrade.
Circle also plans to expand Paymaster to the Ethereum main net, Polygon, and Solana networks. This will enable users to pay transaction fees on multiple blockchains from a single blockchain.
