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.

Both CCTP and Gateway move USDC across supported blockchains — but they do so in a different manner and solve different problems. In this episode of Stablecoin 101, Blessing Adesiji explains the key differences and helps developers and businesses understand which tool fits their needs. You’ll learn: - How CCTP powers secure, point-to-point USDC transfers - Why Gateway enables instant, unified balances across chains - How both products work together for seamless onchain liquidity Whether you’re moving funds between chains or building chain-abstracted apps, this episode makes it simple to choose a solution.
