If you've used crypto before, you know the pain of gas fees. You want to send $1 and the network charges you $3 for the privilege. That makes micropayments impossible - why pay $3 in fees for a $0.01 service?
RelAI solves this completely.
What are gas fees?
Every time something happens on a blockchain - sending tokens, interacting with an app - the network charges a small fee. This fee goes to the computers that process your transaction. It's called "gas."
On popular networks like Ethereum, gas fees can be several dollars. Even on cheaper networks, it's still an extra cost.
How RelAI eliminates gas fees for users
When you use a service powered by RelAI:
- You sign a message - this is free, like signing a document
- RelAI submits the transaction for you - and pays the gas
- The payment goes through - USDC moves from your wallet to the service
Why do we do this?
Because micropayments don't work if there's a $0.50 fee on every $0.01 transaction. By covering gas fees, we make it possible to charge fractions of a cent for digital services.
This opens up entirely new business models:
- Pay $0.001 per API call instead of $29/month
- Pay $0.02 per AI image instead of buying credits in bulk
- Pay $0.05 per article instead of subscribing to a news site
