ETHGas is a protocol focused on Ethereum gas and blockspace. It is described as a new primitive that turns Ethereum blockspace into a tradable commodity by breaking blockspace into atomic parts, enabling instant settlement, and supporting a large gas rebate programme.
Its stated purpose is to help Ethereum operate more like a realtime network while enabling gasless user experiences and instant settlement, with an emphasis on supporting institutional adoption and onboarding large numbers of users.
ETHGas operates on Ethereum and introduces a blockspace marketplace where blockspace is decomposed into atomic units that can be traded and reserved. The system supports primary and secondary markets that expose blockspace markets for the next 64 Ethereum slots via a trading app.
Key mechanics described include:
Security and infrastructure elements include integration with EigenLayer Vision AVS and the use of restaked ETH from validators to support secure realtime operations. ETHGas is also reported as audited by Sigma Prime, and the project states it adheres to Ethereum network standards and uses state-of-the-art encryption for user security.
Potential use cases described include:
Sectors highlighted include DeFi, institutional and enterprise blockchain use, and consumer-facing dApps seeking to reduce gas friction and improve user experience through rebates and faster execution guarantees.
ETHGas is presented as a mission-driven effort to enable a realtime, gasless Ethereum and to transform Ethereum blockspace into a tradable commodity, though specific founding dates and detailed team background are not provided.
Notable milestones and indicators mentioned include:
The described evolution focuses on introducing atomic blockspace trading, wholesale sequencing rights, and expanding gas rebate mechanisms, with integration of EigenLayer restaking and AVS-based security positioned as part of its realtime Ethereum infrastructure direction.
