Here is a breakdown by @SimonBrtR on how ASTR is now powering gas fees on @soneium thanks to Startale’s Account Abstraction infrastructure. 👇

🚨 BREAKING on @soneium 🚨

$ASTR is now officially a GAS TOKEN! 🔥
You can now pay gas fees using ASTR or USDC, no more ETH needed — thanks to @StartaleCS AA wallet!

👀 What’s happening?
@kyofinance is the first dApp to enable ASTR gas payments on mainnet using Startale’s powerful ERC-20 Paymaster.

This is a HUGE step forward for ASTR’s real-world utility.

💡 But wait… what is Account Abstraction (AA)?

It’s a new Web3 standard that makes using dApps as easy as using Web2 apps:
✅ Log in with social accounts (no seed phrases)
✅ No more constant transaction popups
✅ Choose which token to pay gas with (like ASTR or USDC)
✅ dApps can even cover your gas fees

In short:
🧠 Less friction. More users. More adoption.

This is how we bring the "next billion users onchain".

🚀 ASTR isn’t just for governance or staking anymore.
It’s now part of the CORE ENGINE powering #Soneium.
And this is just the beginning.

Thanks to Startale & @AstarNetwork ❤️
