D'CENT x Kaia AMA: Gas-Free DeFi — GasPass, SuperEarn, and the Gas Alliance

On April 10, 2026, D'CENT hosted an X Spaces AMA with Paolo from Kaia Foundation and Jared, the Protocol Lead at SuperEarn. 183 people tuned in to hear about a partnership that tackles one of crypto's most persistent friction points: gas fees.

The conversation covered D'CENT's Gas Alliance initiative, Kaia's native USDT integration, and SuperEarn's role in the Kaia ecosystem. Here's the full conversation, in their own words.

Disclosure: D'CENT does not operate or guarantee SuperEarn's products, terms, or yields. SuperEarn is an independent third-party protocol on the Kaia network.

Key Takeaways

  • Kaia added to GasPass — joining Ethereum, Solana, and Base as the fourth gas-free network on D'CENT
  • Gas Alliance launched — Kaia Foundation is the first partner in D'CENT's initiative to eliminate gas friction
  • SuperEarn integrated — earn yield on Kaia USDT directly from the D'CENT Discover tab
  • SuperEarn campaign — a separate rewards program is running on SuperEarn; see SuperEarn's official channels for details
  • Kaia USDT hub — native Tether integration with local stablecoin expansion (KRW, JPY) planned

The GasPass Problem — And Why It Matters

Tani, D'CENT

"GasPass is like a VIP free ticket for the blockchain — it covers the transaction fees so you can move your assets without needing a native gas token. Token transfers, swaps, the DApp browser — all of it. We support Ethereum, Solana, and Base. And today, we're adding Kaia."

Tani, D'CENT

"D'CENT supports over 100 networks. Gas problems happen constantly. You have USDT but you don't have 10 cents of gas — so you can't move it. Managing 100 different gas tokens is a nightmare. Gas Alliance exists for one reason: your money is never stuck."

Editor's Note

GasPass is D'CENT's fee abstraction feature, built into the mobile app. When a network is in the GasPass program, the wallet covers the gas cost on behalf of the user — charged as a flat fee from the D'CENT app, not taken from the user's crypto holdings on that chain. Kaia joins Ethereum, Solana, and Base as the fourth supported network.


Kaia's Response: "It Should Be a Function"

Paolo, Kaia Foundation

"It's a very fundamental thing. Not all protocols actually think about it. It's not just a promo. I think it should be a function."

Paolo, Kaia Foundation

"Kaia has had fee delegation since 2019. What D'CENT GasPass does is extend that to the hardware wallet layer — you get the benefits of cold wallet security alongside on-chain execution."

Tani, D'CENT

"The ultimate zero-friction experience that makes the blockchain feel invisible. That's what we're building."

Editor's Note

Fee delegation is a blockchain-level mechanism that allows a third party to pay transaction fees on behalf of a user. Kaia built this into its architecture from early on — which made it a natural first partner for the Gas Alliance. The D'CENT integration means that Kaia USDT holders with a hardware wallet can now transact without holding KAIA tokens.

Why Kaia Chose USDT — And What It's Building

Paolo, Kaia Foundation

"Over 80% of on-chain transactions are done in stablecoins. Kaia is one of very few networks with a native Tether integration. We're expanding to local stablecoins too — KRW, JPY — down the line."

Paolo, Kaia Foundation

"If you leave USDT on an exchange, it sits idle. On Kaia and D'CENT, you can put it to work. And it's my keys and it's my wallet — the security advantage over an exchange is clear."

Editor's Note

Exchanges hold assets on your behalf — which means their insolvency, freeze events, or withdrawal restrictions can leave funds inaccessible. With a hardware wallet, no third party can block access. The trade-off is personal responsibility for key management.


SuperEarn: Smart, Simple, and Safe

Jared, SuperEarn

"Super makes Kaia USDT smart, simple, and safe. We take idle USDT and put it to work on Kaia — at no cost to the user. We're the first reliable protocol to offer a decent yield on USDT specifically on Kaia."

Jared, SuperEarn

"We didn't get hit by the Resolve situation — that's a reflection of how we manage risk. We use Morpho and Pendle currently, and we have Kaia-exclusive opportunities coming. TVL crossed $20 million."

Editor's Note

TVL (Total Value Locked) is a standard DeFi metric representing the total value of crypto assets deposited in a protocol. Morpho and Pendle are established DeFi infrastructure protocols used for yield optimization. The Resolve reference is to a separate DeFi incident in early 2026; SuperEarn's funds were not affected.

Accessing SuperEarn from D'CENT

Tani, D'CENT

"SuperEarn is now integrated into the D'CENT Wallet Discovery tab. No fake sites to worry about — you access it from inside the app, in a trusted environment."

Editor's Note

SuperEarn is a third-party DeFi protocol operating independently on the Kaia network. D'CENT provides access to SuperEarn through the Discover tab, and all transaction signing still happens on the hardware device. For campaign details, reward conditions, and deposit terms, refer to SuperEarn's official channels.

What's Coming Next

Tani, D'CENT

"The goal is to expand Gas Alliance to every network. Our vision is a Gas-Free Day at D'CENT — once a month, all gas fees covered for every user, on every supported network."

Paolo, Kaia Foundation

"We have AlphaSec coming — spot and perpetuals trading. Han Finance and other lending protocols. UniFi connects us into Asian everyday finance. Local stablecoins — KRW, JPY. A lot is launching before June."

Tani, D'CENT

"We'll keep working with Kaia beyond this campaign — gas fee support, crypto vouchers, more benefits are coming."

Editor's Note

"Gas-Free Day" was described as a vision, not a confirmed feature. D'CENT has not announced a specific launch date. The AlphaSec, Han Finance, and UniFi protocols mentioned by Paolo are Kaia ecosystem projects with launch timelines described as "before June" during the AMA.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is D'CENT GasPass?
GasPass is D'CENT's fee abstraction feature that covers transaction fees on supported networks. Users can transfer tokens, swap, and use DApps without holding the network's native gas token. As of April 2026, supported networks include Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Kaia.

What is the Gas Alliance?
The Gas Alliance is D'CENT's initiative to expand GasPass coverage across all supported networks. The goal is to make gas fees a non-issue for hardware wallet users regardless of which chain they're on. Kaia Foundation is the first Gas Alliance partner.

What is SuperEarn?
SuperEarn is a third-party DeFi yield protocol on the Kaia network. It uses Morpho and Pendle infrastructure and has crossed $20M in TVL. SuperEarn is accessible from the D'CENT Wallet Discover tab. D'CENT does not operate or guarantee SuperEarn's products, terms, or yields. For specific details, refer to SuperEarn's official channels.

Is SuperEarn safe to use from D'CENT?
SuperEarn is accessible directly from the D'CENT Wallet Discover tab, which means you don't need to navigate to an external website. All transaction signing still happens on your hardware device — every action requires confirmation on the device screen. Note that a hardware wallet protects your private keys but cannot prevent losses if you approve a malicious or unfavorable transaction. Always review what you are signing. SuperEarn is an independently operated third-party protocol; deposit and yield conditions are managed entirely by SuperEarn.

Does Kaia have built-in gas fee support?
Yes. Kaia has supported fee delegation — a mechanism that allows third parties to sponsor transaction fees — since 2019. D'CENT's GasPass uses this to cover gas for Kaia transactions at the hardware wallet level.

What happens to my USDT if I leave it on an exchange instead?
Exchanges hold your assets on your behalf. Withdrawal freezes, insolvency events, or access restrictions can leave funds unavailable. With a self-custody wallet like D'CENT, no third party can block your access — but you are responsible for securing your own recovery phrase.
