There is a new development in the Solana ecosystem. Now, when sending assets on the Solana chain, users can flexibly choose the gas token — not limited to SOL, but also supporting USDC, USDT, WSOL, RAY, and TRUMP options.
What does this mean? The most immediate benefit is that you can directly transfer SOL, USDC, NFTs, or other assets without having to pre-prepare SOL to pay for network fees. This will provide a smoother experience for beginners and lower the barrier to operating on Solana. Multi-chain interactions are becoming more convenient, and such optimizations are gradually improving the user experience.

Now you really don't need to stock up on SOL, just pay gas with USDC? I kind of understand what Solana is trying to do now.

Finally no need to stock up on SOL in advance, this makes it much more comfortable for newcomers to enter the market
---
Pay gas with USDC? Now this is the true Web3 experience it should have
---
Wait, TRUMP can also be used as a gas token? That operation is a bit outrageous haha
---
Honestly, this feature should have been available long ago, otherwise it's really annoying to calculate whether you have enough SOL before each transaction
---
On multi-chain interaction optimization, Solana is indeed making efforts, and the ecosystem is gradually maturing
---
Huh? RAY can be used to pay gas? On-chain ecosystem tokens can also be used, this idea is pretty good
---
Transferring USDC directly to save gas fees, very friendly to stablecoin users
---
Lowkey, this is indirectly promoting TRUMP, and when SOL will also be irrelevant doesn't matter anymore
---
The user experience for newcomers has indeed improved, but it feels a bit competitive as all major chains are competing to see who is more friendly to developers
---
The benefits are obvious, but wonder if someone will take the opportunity to exploit the system or do some wool-pulling

Finally here, SOL is no longer a necessity, now beginners can avoid many pitfalls
Paying gas with USDC? It should have been done this way a long time ago, the experience is much smoother
Solana is really serious about building things, I give full marks for these detailed optimizations
TRUMP can also pay gas... this ecosystem's inclusiveness is a bit crazy (laughs)
No need to hoard SOL waiting to pay transaction fees, this operation puts much less pressure on the wallet
Honestly, this feature should have been available three years ago, but it's still good to have now
This wave of SOL is truly upgrading the experience, much more reliable than some other chains
Multi-chain competition is definitely driving innovation, making it even harder to choose a chain
Finally no longer bound by SOL, greatly increasing freedom

ngl this multi-token gas thing sounds nice on paper but... who's actually eating those conversion costs under the hood? feels like solana's just obfuscating the fee structure again, classic move. the dark forest doesn't get friendlier just because they hid the machinery.

Wow, now beginners can really go all in without having to hoard a bunch of SOL first.
USDC as gas fee? Sure, Solana, that’s really convenient.
Finally someone thought of this, the previous process was so annoying.
But TRUMP can also be used as a gas fee? Haha, this ecosystem is getting more and more outrageous.
If this had happened last year, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.

Pay gas directly with USDC? Solana is serious now, much better than Ethereum.

Wow, finally no need to hoard SOL for gas fees, just use USDC for transfers—much more convenient.
