  • Received large grant in Q3 and completed final milestones in December
  • Blob-Based Execution Services
    • If posting call data or blobs, gas hawk can put onchain in gas efficient way
    • Allows Layer 2 sequencer operators to enhance network efficiency as the demand for blobs starts to accelerate
    • Cost of blob submissions can be considerable, so improving transaction efficiency has large impact on expenses
    • Can test sending blobs to GasHawk now; don’t have to worry about timing blob submissions GasHawk takes care of it for you
  • Paymaster (demoing smart contract on Sepolia)
    • Previously, users needed ETH to cover costs; now, smart contract wallets can initiate transactions without holding the native token
    • GasHawk build a paymaster service to enhance Dapp, Chain, and wallet user acquisition by offering sponsored transaction fees to new users.
    • Developed bundler and relayer services that streamline the transaction process, connecting user initiation with blockchain finalization, ultimately improving cross chain transaction management efficiency.
    • Allows improved use of ENS auto-renew, can even sponsor renewals
  • Supporting article that details Gashawk’s milestone update (h/t leticiaferraz.eth): GasHawk: Improving OnChain Transaction Efficiency | Grants
  • @coltron.eth: Thanks for being a super proactive large grantee, final grant was paid
