Development

No gas? No problem.

With Gas Station on Aptos Build, you can sponsor transaction fees for your users—dynamically, securely, and at scale. It’s a major step forward in delivering seamless UX for your dApp.

:wrench: How It Works

  • Your users interact with your dApp without holding APT
  • You (the developer) configure and control a Gas Station that pays the transaction fees
  • You define what, when, and how to sponsor, via clear rules

:locked_with_key: Key Security Features

  • Function-level control: Only allow specific calls
  • Spending limits: Cap gas costs per function
  • Rate limiting: Prevent abuse via throttling
  • reCAPTCHA support: Block bots
  • API Key Authentication: Keep access locked down

:brick: How to Set It Up

  1. Go to your project on Aptos Build
  2. Add a Gas Station resource
  3. Give it a name and choose a network
  4. Set up your function rules and security preferences

:warning: Limitations

  • Works only on the chosen network
  • Only explicitly allowed functions can be called
  • Rate and spending limits apply
  • Complex transaction types may not be supported

This is one of the most underrated infra features for onboarding Web2-style users into Web3. Try it now on AptosBuild.com and make “no APT” a non-issue.
