UniversalX relies on Universal Accounts' Universal Gas functionality, otherwise known as gas abstraction.
Universal Gas exists to solve the fragmentation and rigidity of gas tokens in transactions across blockchains. It allows users to spend any token to pay for gas fees.
Leveraging a Universal Gas, UniversalX users can pay the fees on a transaction using any Primary Token. Traditionally, transactions require fees to be paid in the native token of the network(s) you’re interacting with; however, in UniversalX, the denomination in which users pay these fees is flexibilized across chains.
When transactions are executed through a Universal Account, UniversalX's interface will prompt the user to choose the token they’d like to pay gas fees with. From this point, users can choose between multiple Primary Tokens, either coming from the same chain the transaction is executed on or from external chains, automatically consumed through Particle Network’s native Paymaster.
All gas payments are eventually settled in the source and target chains, with a portion of the fee automatically routed and converted into $PARTI to settle the transaction on the Particle Chain. As a result, users can pay transaction fees in a way that removes the cognitive requirement of bridging or keeping track of cross-chain balances, maintaining a pool of native tokens, etc.
