# Gas Sponsorship

> Understanding gas sponsorship on Immutable zkEVM

## Overview

Immutable sponsors gas costs for all Passport users, enabling "Gas Free for Gamers"—seamless blockchain experiences where players never encounter transaction fees.

## What is Gas Sponsorship?

Exposing gas costs to end users creates significant user experience friction in blockchain games. Players must acquire cryptocurrency, understand transaction fees, and manage wallet balances before they can play.

Gas sponsorship eliminates this friction entirely. Immutable sponsors transaction costs so players can trade, mint, transfer, and play without ever seeing blockchain fees. Studios treat gas sponsorship as an operational expense—similar to server infrastructure costs.

## Why "Gas Free for Gamers"?

Gas sponsorship delivers measurable business benefits:

* **Higher retention rates** - Players don't abandon due to transaction fee friction
* **Better conversion** - No cryptocurrency barrier to entry
* **Seamless onboarding** - Web2-like experience for Web3 games

## Eligibility

Gas sponsorship is available exclusively for **Immutable Passport users**.
