Blockchain technology has come a long way in simplifying digital asset management, but one persistent barrier remains: the need to hold native gas tokens for transactions. Bitget Wallet (formerly BitKeep) is tackling this challenge head-on with a groundbreaking innovation — the world’s first borrow gas transaction functionality, now live on its latest V7.0.8 update.
This new feature allows users to conduct swaps on the Tron and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) networks without needing to pre-purchase native gas tokens like TRX or BNB. By eliminating this traditional requirement, Bitget Wallet is significantly lowering entry barriers for newcomers and streamlining workflows for experienced crypto users.
What Is Gas Fee in Blockchain?
In blockchain transactions, a gas fee is the cost required to successfully conduct an operation on a network. Think of it as a transaction or processing fee — similar to bank transfer charges — paid to network validators (or miners) for confirming and recording your transaction.
When using decentralized exchanges (DEXs), every action — swapping tokens, transferring assets, or interacting with dApps — requires gas. On different blockchains, this fee must be paid in the network’s native token:
- BSC: Requires BNB
- Polygon: Requires MATIC
- Tron: Requires TRX
- Ethereum: Requires ETH
For beginners, this creates confusion: “Why do I need another token just to swap?” For seasoned users, it adds friction — constantly managing small balances of multiple native tokens across chains.
The Multi-Chain Challenge: Fragmented Funds, Extra Steps
As the Web3 ecosystem expands into a multi-chain reality, users often interact with several networks. Each time they switch chains, they must:
- Acquire the native token of that chain
- Transfer it to their wallet
- Pay gas fees for the transfer itself
- Use it for transactions
This process results in:
- Increased transaction costs (at least two fees per new chain)
- Scattered small balances of native tokens across wallets
- Poor capital efficiency
- A steep learning curve for new adopters
Bitget Wallet aims to solve this with its borrow gas feature — allowing users to transact even if their wallet holds only a single token like USDT.
How Borrow Gas Works: A Seamless Swap Experience
With Bitget Wallet’s innovative solution, users no longer need to hold TRX or BNB to pay gas fees on Tron or BSC. Instead, the platform automatically deducts a portion of the transaction value in the user’s existing token (e.g., USDT) to cover gas costs.
Example Use Case:
Imagine your wallet contains only Tron-based USDT, and you want to swap it for TRX. Normally, you’d be stuck — no TRX means no gas to execute the trade.
With borrow gas, Bitget Wallet enables the swap directly:
- You initiate a USDT → TRX trade
- The system uses a small amount of your USDT to cover the network fee
- The swap completes successfully
No prior preparation. No extra steps.
This functionality is currently available for:
- Tron (TRX) chain
- Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
And more chains are expected to roll out support in the coming weeks.
Note: Minimum transaction values apply — swaps must be at least $10 worth on Tron** and **$5 on BSC to use borrow gas.
Step-by-Step: Using Borrow Gas on Bitget Wallet
Ready to try it yourself? Here’s how to perform a gas-free swap on BSC using only USDT:
- Open Bitget Wallet (v7.0.4 or higher) and switch to BSC network
- Ensure your wallet holds USDT, but no BNB
- Tap [Swap] and select USDT → BUSD
- Enter the amount — the interface will show:
TX Fee: 0.03 USDT - Confirm the transaction
- Complete authentication (e.g., password or biometrics)
- Once confirmed, your BUSD balance appears in the wallet
That’s it — no BNB needed, no extra transfers, no hassle.
Why This Innovation Matters
Bitget Wallet’s borrow gas feature represents a major leap forward in user experience optimization within Web3. It aligns with three critical trends:
- Mass Adoption: Removing technical barriers makes crypto accessible to everyday users.
- Capital Efficiency: No more locking up funds in tiny amounts of BNB, TRX, or MATIC.
- Frictionless UX: One-token workflows reduce cognitive load and errors.
As highlighted by Bitget Wallet CEO Kevin:
“We aim to make blockchain transactions not only secure but also effortless. Our mission is to deliver the smoothest possible swapping experience — and continuous innovation is how we get there.”
With support for over 55 blockchains, 220,000+ assets, and integration with 10,000+ dApps, Bitget Wallet is positioning itself as a leading gateway to Web3.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which chains currently support borrow gas?
A: As of version V7.0.8, borrow gas is available on Tron and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Support for additional networks is under development and will launch soon.
Q: Do I need a minimum balance to use borrow gas?
A: Yes. On Tron, the swap value must be at least $10 USD**; on BSC, it must be at least **$5 USD.
Q: Can I use any token to pay gas fees?
A: Currently, stablecoins like USDT are supported for gas deduction. The system selects eligible tokens based on liquidity and network requirements.
Q: Is there an extra fee for using borrow gas?
A: No additional service fee is charged. You only pay the standard network gas cost, deducted from your traded token.
Q: Is this safe? Could my funds be at risk?
A: Absolutely secure. Borrow gas does not involve third-party lending or smart contract risks beyond standard swap operations. All transactions remain non-custodial and user-controlled.
Q: Will this work for sending tokens, or only swaps?
A: Currently, the feature is enabled for in-wallet swaps via Bitget Swap. Support for general transfers may come in future updates.
