Users would sign a message request to contracts which will use user's Identity balance of selected token to refund proportional used gas to a incentivezed ETH owner to include that message in a transction.
A barrier for user adoption to blockchain through Status would be the need of holding two tokens for paying fees, ether gas for moving the [SNT](https://etherscan.io/address/0x744d70fdbe2ba4cf95131626614a1763df805b9e#readContract) fee from user balance to decentralized service provider.
The product solve this by emulating a gas abstraction by adding "Gas Relayer Actor" in top of smart contracts as: [Identity](https://github.com/status-im/contracts/blob/73-economic-abstraction/contracts/identity/Identity.sol)[GasRelay](https://github.com/status-im/contracts/blob/73-economic-abstraction/contracts/identity/IdentityGasRelay.sol), MultiSigWallet, [SNTController](https://github.com/status-im/contracts/blob/73-economic-abstraction/contracts/status/SNTController.sol#L82) (updated from SNTPlaceHolder).
- Allows SNT holder to broadcast ethereum signed messages to anyone with ETH to validate them in the GasRelay smart contracts, and offering a refund of gas used in a gas price set in SNT.
- Whoever have ether could verify if the gas price worth the SNT gas price offered.
- This becomes a micro trade of ETH->SNT.
- Allow user to use any token they want (even ETH, or ETH stored in Identity).
- Status Destkop extension or an independent node can include messages by making automatic transactions calls to smart contracts to earn tokens being offered as gas price refund.
- Configuration for tokens accepted and types of contract willing to interact with.
- include smart contract terms for accepting ethereum signed messages representing authorization to call by/for Identity owner offering a gas price refund for relayer.
- Identity UI should allow user to choose what token it wants to use as gas price.
- include smart contract terms for accepting ethereum signed messages to call `IdentityGasRelayFactory` and for moving the tokens from there using SNT controller contract.
- a "wizard" UI would make the calls to create a Identity and send user SNT to Identity (so it can be used as ether gas).
Important for opt-in gas abstraction without ever holding ether.
Idea [145-identity](https://github.com/status-im/ideas/pull/145) is important to seamless and safe integration of gas abstraction for any type of call, so identity can become `msg.sender` for other contracts.
