One of the biggest barriers to entry in the Solana ecosystem has always been the need to hold SOL tokens just to pay for transaction fees. Even if you only want to trade USDC for tokenized stocks, you would traditionally need a small amount of SOL in your wallet to cover the gas cost. Envestir eliminates this friction entirely with gasless trading.
Our gasless trading system works through a deep integration with the Jupiter aggregator. When you execute a swap on Envestir, the platform handles the gas fee on your behalf, deducting a small portion from your trade amount instead of requiring a separate SOL balance. This means you can deposit USDC via card and start trading immediately without ever needing to acquire SOL first.
Behind the scenes, Envestir uses a relay system that sponsors your transactions. The relay submits your signed transaction to the Solana network and pays the gas fee in SOL, while your trade proceeds as normal. The cost is minimal — typically a fraction of a cent — and is transparently included in your trade execution details.
This approach makes Envestir significantly more accessible than most Solana-based trading platforms. New users can onboard with just a card deposit, receive USDC, and begin trading stocks and crypto within minutes. No need to visit an exchange, buy SOL, transfer it to your wallet, and then figure out gas fees. We handle all of that complexity so you can focus on investing.
