Nodle is a decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) project, initially launched on the Polkadot blockchain, is now migrating to the Elastic Chain network of ZKsync. These Elastic Chains, a chain-of-chain concept recently launched by ZKsync, use the ZKstack and offer benefits like low-cost usage, ease of use, and mathematical security.
One of the main challenges for blockchain users is managing transaction fees, or “gas fees,” which can be both complex and costly. This is particularly true for users who operate across multiple wallets or networks and need to manage various native tokens to cover these fees. This complexity can limit adoption and ease of use of decentralized applications, creating obstacles for both users and developers.
To simplify gas fee management, Nodle integrated Zyfi's paymaster on ZKsync Era. This collaboration enables users to pay transaction fees directly in $NODL, eliminating the need to acquire additional tokens like ETH to cover gas costs.
Now, Nodle users on the ZKsync network can pay fees in $NODL. The app now offers an optimized on-chain experience where ETH is no longer required for gas fees.
Additionally, the gas abstraction model has attracted new users to Nodle, encouraging them to try a system where transaction fees are paid in other token than ETH, further boosting the platform's popularity on ZKsync Era.
To summarize, the UX/UI implementation followed a structured process:
The first step was to determine which on-chain actions and UI improvements to display. The team focused on allowing users to pay gas fees with $NODL.
The second step involved integrating the API into their front end, which took about 1 day, ensuring the correct on-chain actions were triggered.
The final step was implementing changes to the UI. A simple message was added to the transaction screen, displaying the gas fee in $NODL.
And that’s it! 🎉
In total, Nodle needed 1.5 development day to integrate the entire product into their front end, providing an exceptional on-chain experience for users.
Nodle attracted many users after the Zyfi integration, sponsoring over 70,000 transactions as of December 5, 2024, with an average of 800 sponsored transactions per day.
The integration of Zyfi with Nodle represents not just a technological breakthrough but also a revolution in user experience within the DeFi space.
