How Circle Paymaster Works

Gas shouldn’t get in the way of great user experiences.

In this episode of Stablecoin 101, Blessing Adesiji breaks down how Circle Paymaster works — the onchain service that lets users pay gas fees with USDC instead of native tokens.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How Paymaster is built on account abstraction (ERC-4337)
• How it makes transactions faster and simpler for users
• Why this matters for developers building real-world onchain apps

It’s a simple idea that removes one of the biggest barriers to onchain adoption — users can simply use USDC to send USDC, without ever worrying about gas.
