Send From Your Universal Profile Without Holding Gas

Eliminate the hassle of maintaining separate gas balances for Base, Polygon, and Avalanche on your Universal Profile.

Pay Gas with USDC

If you've redeployed your LUKSO Universal Profile on Base, Polygon or Avalanche, you can now send from it there without keeping coins for gas on each network. You pay 5 USDC once from your profile, and the site pays the gas of your transfers and dApp transactions on all three networks. Your controller key only signs a message. The service is experimental and hasn't had a professional audit yet, so start with small amounts. You can subscribe today.

Keeping gas on every network

A redeployed profile lives at the same address on every network, but the key that controls it still pays every fee. So far that meant buying ETH for Base, POL for Polygon and AVAX for Avalanche, then sending some to your controller on each one before you could move anything. A profile full of tokens couldn't send a single one if its controller's balance was empty.

One USDC balance pays your gas on three networks

On the subscription page, you pay 5 USDC from your Universal Profile. It becomes one balance for your profile that works on every network the service covers, whichever network you paid on. Each operation costs:

  • Base: 0.01 USDC, so 5 USDC covers 500 operations.

  • Polygon: 0.02 USDC, so 5 USDC covers 250.

  • Avalanche C-Chain: 0.02 USDC, so 5 USDC covers 250.

Your controller doesn't need gas to subscribe either. To top up, pay another 5 USDC on the same page and it's added to what you have left. You can check your balance by entering your profile's address, with no wallet connected, and you get an email when it drops to 2.5, 1 and 0.5 USDC, so you can top up before you run out.

Send tokens and use dApps with the gas paid

Once your balance is active, you can send native currency, tokens and NFTs from your profile with the Send page, or approve transactions on any dApp through the UP Wallet, and let the site pay the gas. Your controller signs a message in MetaMask instead of paying a fee, and you know what each operation will cost before you sign.

Getting started

Your profile needs a one-time setup on each network, which you do on the gas page. Your controller pays a few cents for that transaction, and after it, sends and dApp transactions on that network no longer need its gas. To subscribe, your profile needs 5 Circle-native USDC on the network you choose.

These tools exist so your Universal Profile works on other EVM networks the way it does on LUKSO, and paying gas from one USDC balance means you no longer have to fund a key on each of them. Set up your profile on the gas page, then subscribe on the subscription page.
