Gasless UX & Permission Grants

Onboarding is one of the biggest barriers in Blockchain adoption. For many users, the need to manage seed phrases, install wallets, and acquire tokens just to interact with a dapp is a dealbreaker. At XION, we believe that streamlining this experience is critical to bringing the next wave of users into the ecosystem.

XION Meta Accounts are designed to solve this. Unlike traditional externally owned accounts (EOAs), Meta Accounts are smart contract accounts, which allow users can sign up and log in using familiar authenticators like email, social login, wallets, or passkeys. This removes the complexity of key management and lets users focus on what really matters: using your dapp.

To make this experience seamless, we’ve introduced the Treasury contract, which plays a crucial dual role:

• Gasless Transactions – It manages Fee Grants, so users don’t need tokens to pay for gas. This enables fully gasless interactions from the very first click.

• Smart Permissions – It simplifies dapp configuration by issuing Authorization Grants, which allow your frontend (via session keys) to execute pre-approved smart contract calls on behalf of the user’s Meta Account.

Together with our OAuth2-style authentication and Abstraxion library for generating secure, temporary session keys, these tools enable frictionless, secure, and user-friendly dapp experiences, without compromising on decentralization or control.

The following guides will help you understand how the Treasury contract works and how to set it up and configure it to power your dapp’s transaction flow:
