Grat is an open-source gas abstraction relay and SDK for Stellar. Developers send signed transactions to Grat, it wraps them in fee-bump envelopes (CAP-0015), pays the fee from a managed pool of channel accounts, and submits them to the network. Users never touch XLM. Try the Live Demo

​
Protocol 26 (Yardstick) Compatibility

Grat is fully compatible with Stellar Protocol 26 (Yardstick).
Protocol 26 introduces critical updates to the Stellar network, including refined resource metering and updated fee structures for Soroban smart contracts. Grat is built to handle these protocol-level changes automatically. By using Grat, developers benefit from optimized resource pricing and stable fee handling without needing to manually adjust their application logic for every network upgrade.

Zero-XLM UX

Users transact without holding or managing XLM.

Stellar-Native

Built on CAP-0015 fee-bump transactions, not adapted from another chain.

Protocol 26 Ready

Compatible with Stellar latest protocol upgrade.

Self-Hostable

Run your own relay with Docker or one-click Cloud deployment.
