Berlin, Germany – Safe, the innovative smart wallet infrastructure team behind Safe{Core}, which secures more than $100 billion in digital assets on Safe{Wallet}, has unveiled the Safe{Core} Gas Station program in partnership with Pimlico. This initiative aims to cover network transaction fees (gas fees) for early-stage developers building with smart accounts, backed by leading blockchains such as Polygon PoS and Gnosis Chain.

The Safe{Core} Gas Station program allocates $250,000 in gas reimbursement credits, of which $200,000 is reserved for Polygon PoS developers and $50,000 for Gnosis Chain developers. By leveraging the ERC-4337 account abstraction standard, originally conceptualized by Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum developers, Safe{Core} aims to improve user experience and security benefits in the blockchain ecosystem.
“The launch of Safe{Core} Gas Station is a critical step in our mission to democratize digital ownership. Just as users don’t have to incur AWS fees in Web2 apps, they shouldn’t have to in Web3 either. By empowering developers on leading platforms like Polygon and Gnosis Chain, we aim to significantly improve the EVM user experience.”
Lukas Schor, co-founder of Safe
Kristof Gazso, founder of Pimlico, added: “Our goal with this partnership is to enable Web3 developers to focus on innovation. Safe is at the forefront of a future rooted in account abstraction, providing developers with the tools needed to create secure, user-centric experiences.”
The program not only reduces early user acquisition costs through sponsored transactions, but also promotes acquisition campaigns and frictionless user onboarding. It welcomes developers who build on Safe{Core} or use secure smart contracts, with Pimlico acting as paymaster for fees.
Web3 developers interested in participating can sign up for the Safe{Core} Gas Station program and access further details at safe.global/gasstation.
