Gasless transaction flows reduce user friction by minimizing separate approval and execution steps where supported. Socket routes can use approval mechanisms such as Permit2 so users can move from quote to execution with fewer interruptions.

​
Why it matters

Token approvals are one of the most common sources of swap friction. Gasless approval flows help apps offer a smoother routing experience while keeping users in control of the assets and route they approve. Use Gasless Transactions when your product needs to:
  • Reduce the number of wallet prompts in ERC20 routing flows.
  • Improve completion rates for swaps and cross-chain transfers.
  • Offer a cleaner experience for users who expect fast, guided execution.

​
How it works

Socket evaluates the route and approval requirements for the requested transfer. When a gasless approval path is available, your app can use the returned transaction data to guide the user through the supported signing and execution flow. For API-level routing details, see the Socket API guide.
