ArbiFuel Is Live: Arbitrum Builders, Claim Your Gas Fee Sponsorship

At Arbitrum, builders come first. That’s why we’re launching ArbiFuel, a Gas Fee Sponsorship Program to help early-stage teams ship faster, test freely, and onboard users without worrying about gas costs. As the ecosystem evolves with upgrades like Pectra and EIP-7702, the push toward native smart account support is accelerating, and Arbitrum is ready to help teams take advantage of these new capabilities and bring fresh ideas to life.

Ready to Gas Up? ArbiFuel Program Breakdown

Whether you’re exploring smart wallets, onboarding UX, or payment-related applications, Arbitrum will back you with the scalability, tooling, and now, the gas to build user-friendly applications. The Arbitrum Foundation welcomes the following to apply for gas sponsorship under ArbiFuel:

• Early-stage developers working on simplified UX apps
• Wallet providers and stablecoin-related products
• Teams exploring payment-related applications

The ArbiFuel program will run for three months, from May 30 to August 30, 2025, and is open to eligible teams building on Arbitrum. The program will power your users with a seamless, cost-free entry into your application.

• Selected projects will get sponsorship of up to 1,000,000 free transactions in their first year following the start of the gas sponsorship, capped at $10,000 in credits per team.
• Initially, the sponsorship is powered by Pimlico’s ERC-20 Paymasters, with plans to expand to other Paymasters based on project needs.
