How It Works

Four steps from intent to Bitcoin-anchored settlement — no STX required.

01

User Signs Intent

The user signs a gasless transaction intent with their Stacks wallet, specifying the action and authorizing a USDCx fee.

02

Relayer Picks Up

The VelumX Relayer detects the signed intent and prepares a sponsored transaction, covering the required STX gas fee.

03

Paymaster Sponsors Gas

The on-chain Paymaster contract validates the USDCx authorization and reimburses the Relayer for the STX gas spent.

04

Settles on Bitcoin

The transaction is confirmed on Stacks and anchored to Bitcoin, giving the user Bitcoin-grade finality with zero STX held.

Core Capabilities

Everything you need to build and use gasless DeFi on Bitcoin L2.

Gasless Bridging

Bridge USDC from Ethereum to Stacks without holding STX. Fees deducted from your USDCx balance automatically.

Gasless Swaps

Swap tokens on the VelumX AMM paying fees in the input token. No STX required at any step.

Gasless Withdrawals

Send funds back to Ethereum without needing STX dust for the bridge fee. Pure stablecoin UX.

Intent Settlement

Sign a typed intent off-chain. The Relayer executes and the Paymaster settles — sub-block finality.

Universal SDK

React, Node, and Mobile SDKs. Integrate gasless transactions in under 20 lines of code.

Bitcoin-Native Finality

Every transaction anchors to Bitcoin via Stacks Nakamoto. Immutable, censorship-resistant settlement.

Built For Everyone

Whether you're a first-time DeFi user or a seasoned protocol builder, VelumX removes the gas barrier.

New User Onboarding

A user bridges USDC from Ethereum and immediately starts swapping on Stacks — no STX purchase required. VelumX removes the single biggest barrier to Bitcoin L2 adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about VelumX.

VelumX is a gas abstraction protocol on Stacks (Bitcoin L2). It lets users bridge, swap, and transact using only USDCx — without ever holding STX for gas fees.
When you initiate a transaction, you sign an intent authorizing a USDCx fee. The VelumX Relayer submits the transaction to Stacks, paying the STX gas. The on-chain Paymaster contract reimburses the Relayer from your USDCx authorization.
VelumX supports Xverse and Leather for Stacks wallet connections, and MetaMask / Rabby for Ethereum-side bridging. Any SIP-010 compatible wallet can interact with the Paymaster contract directly.
The Paymaster and Registry contracts are written in Clarity, a decidable smart contract language that prevents entire classes of vulnerabilities. A formal audit is in progress. All contracts are open-source on GitHub.
Visit app.velumx.xyz to use the protocol as an end user, or docs.velumx.xyz to integrate the SDK into your dApp. The SDK supports React, Node.js, and React Native.
