Cosmos Hub’s ecosystem has long needed a streamlined solution for managing interchain transactions and improving user experience, particularly in terms of gas fees and onboarding. To address these needs, AADAO has awarded Leap Wallet with a $150,000 grant for the development of Leap Wallet’s ATOM Gas Station.
This grant aims to enhance the Cosmos ecosystem by creating a unified multi-chain view within the wallet, improving the IBC transaction experience, and simplifying onboarding through an MPC-based social login wallet. The project focuses on integrating ATOM as the gas token across the Atom Economic Zone (AEZ), facilitating one-click transfers and swaps, and reducing onboarding friction from fiat.
The grant was awarded to address the need for a more seamless and intuitive user experience within the Cosmos ecosystem. By reducing friction in IBC transactions and enhancing governance UX, the project is expected to make Cosmos Hub the default choice for users. Leap Wallet’s features, including the ability to claim all rewards in one place, liquid stake within the wallet, and use account abstractions, aim to drive ATOM adoption and significantly enhance the overall user experience.
Plus, the introduction of a ‘Preferred Gas Token’ feature will allow users to prioritize ATOM for transaction fees, and mechanisms are being developed to enable users to acquire required tokens using ATOM.
