Velvet Capital Joins the Open Gas Initiative
Velvet Capital is joining the Open Gas Initiative (OG), ETHGas’ industry program designed to eliminate gas fees from the end-user experience and accelerate Ethereum toward a realtime, gasless future.
As one of the fastest-growing DeFi + AI (“DeFAI”) platforms, Velvet Capital is now part of the first cohort of protocols sponsoring gas for their users. This highlights how gas-free interactions can unlock better user experiences, improve strategy performance, and set new expectations for seamless, accessible onchain asset management.
What Velvet Capital Is Doing
Velvet Capital is a DeFAI operating system that combines non-custodial smart-contract vaults, automated strategies, and AI-powered execution into a single platform. Users can create, manage, and invest in tokenized portfolios while maintaining full control of their assets.
By joining the Open Gas Initiative, Velvet Capital will begin subsidizing gas for key user actions , turning what was once a cost and friction point into a smooth, rewarding interaction. This aligns with Velvet’s mission to make sophisticated DeFi strategies accessible, automated, and easy to use for everyone.
Why Velvet Joining OG Matters
OGI turns gas into a growth engine. Velvet Capital’s participation strengthens that momentum across the ecosystem:
- More accessible onboarding: Users entering Velvet vaults, strategies, or AI-powered flows face lower cost barriers, improving early adoption and exploration.
- Incentives for high-value actions: Velvet can reward deposits, portfolio adjustments, and strategy participation by covering users’ gas fees.
- Better user retention: Gasless portfolio management reduces friction and strengthens long-term loyalty.
- Community goodwill: Monthly rebates turn gas into a tangible reward that compounds over time.
Velvet’s involvement signals a future where gasless UX becomes standard across asset management platforms and DeFi infrastructure.
A Shared Vision for a Gasless Future
ETHGas and Velvet Capital are both building infrastructure to make DeFi simpler, faster, and more user-friendly. ETHGas eliminates transaction friction through gas abstraction and realtime execution. Velvet expands access to advanced asset-management tools through AI, automation, and non-custodial vaults.
Together, they help accelerate a shared outcome: a seamless, high-performance Ethereum where users interact and invest without thinking about gas.
Join the Open Gas Movement
Velvet Capital’s participation marks another milestone in the shift toward gasless UX across the ecosystem. More partners are onboarding as OGI expands across Ethereum mainnet and prepares for multichain support on BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum.
