Achieving mass adoption of Web3 requires innovative solutions to lower the entry barriers for Web2 users, especially the challenge of acquiring cryptocurrencies like ETH for transaction fees. Traditional airdrop methods often fall short due to Sybil attacks, which create unnecessary selling pressure and fail to effectively incentivize genuine, organic users. As a result, the scale of airdrops remains limited to a few million accounts—negligible compared to the vast Web2 user base.

To address this, we introduce Soul Gas Token, a non-transferable, value-less gas token designed to ease the transition to Web3. By airdropping Soul Gas Token, users can pay gas fees without upfront costs, enabling a frictionless entry into the decentralized ecosystem and fostering border adoption. The non-transferable nature of the token removes incentives for Sybil attackers, enabling large-scale airdrops to potentially hundreds of millions of users..

We developed the Soul Gas Token on OP Stack, full compatible with existing ETH wallets. For an L2 transaction, the fee will first be deducted from the user's Soul Gas Token balance. If the balance is insufficient, the system will then draw from the user's native balance. To account for the additional processing cost of Soul Gas Token, the intrinsic gas cost may be slightly higher than that of traditional transactions.

By addressing these challenges, Soul Gas Token positions itself as a pioneering tool to simplify Web3 access and accelerate mass adoption.
