The update, now live on mainnet, lets users send supported stablecoins without holding a single $SUI token. No gas, no friction, no “first you need to buy the native token” onboarding dance that has quietly killed adoption for every chain that requires it. How gasless transfers actually work Sui’s approach is straightforward. Eligible stablecoin transactions now set their gas price to zero. The network itself absorbs the cost of…
