| Use Case                         | Description                                                                                                                                                       |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **DeFi Exchanges**               | Cover gas fees for token swaps or liquidity provision. This is useful for marketing campaigns, new user onboarding, or high-volume traders.                       |
| **NFT Drops**                    | Sponsor gas fees for fresh mints, even during high network congestion. This helps your collection find more participants and reduces all friction for collectors. |
| **Lending Protocols**            | Sponsor key actions such as loan creation, collateral adjustments, or repayments, by setting a minimum for deposits and withdrawals.                              |
| **L2 Rollups and EVM Chains**    | Sponsor bridging gas fees from the origin chain to your destination chain using your canonical bridge or third parties.                                           |
| **Liquid staking**               | Liquid stacked tokens and their wrapped versions leave users without options to make a single transaction after staking all their native tokens.                  |
| **Web3 Games**                   | Gas-free in-game transactions, allowing players to mint NFTs, transfer assets, or make a minimum purchase without needing to manage native tokens.                |
| **Charity and Donations**        | Nonprofits can sponsor gas fees for donors. A minimum donation threshold can be set to apply for sponsorship.                                                     |
| **DAO Governance Participation** | Sponsor gas fees for governance actions like voting, submitting proposals, or delegating tokens.                                                                  |
| **Subscription Services**        | Any recurring actions, such as Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA), can automate and cover recurring transaction fees for users.                                          |
| **Private Actions**              | By covering gas fees, users don't need to complete KYC to purchase ETH. It also enables ETH-less token withdrawals sent to stealth addresses.                     |
