MetaMask 推出加油站互換，消除了 DeFi 的主要障礙

領先的以太坊錢包 MetaMask 推出了新的 Gas Station 功能，使用戶能夠進行代幣兌換，而無需使用 ETH 支付 Gas 費用。

MetaMask, a popular Ethereum wallet, has introduced a new feature that allows users to conduct token swaps without needing ETH for gas fees. This feature, also known as gas-included swaps, is now live for MetaMask Extension users on the Ethereum mainnet, with a mobile rollout planned soon.

受歡迎的以太坊錢包 MetaMask 推出了一項新功能，允許用戶進行代幣兌換，而無需使用 ETH 支付 Gas 費用。此功能也稱為含 Gas 交換，現已在以太坊主網上向 MetaMask Extension 用戶推出，並計劃很快在行動裝置上推出。

This initiative aims to simplify transactions, removing a longstanding barrier for users within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. For many web3 users, running out of ETH to cover gas fees has been a frustrating hurdle. Traditional solutions involve purchasing ETH on centralized exchanges and transferring it to on-chain wallets. However, this process is often time-consuming and costly.

此措施旨在簡化交易，消除去中心化金融（DeFi）生態系統中用戶長期存在的障礙。對於許多 web3 用戶來說，用完 ETH 來支付 Gas 費一直是一個令人沮喪的障礙。傳統的解決方案包括在中心化交易所購買 ETH 並將其轉移到鏈上錢包。然而，這個過程通常既耗時又昂貴。

MetaMask's initiative integrates network fees into the quoted swap price, eliminating the need for users to manually top up their ETH balances before performing swaps. This improvement allows users to proceed with transactions without additional on-ramping delays.

MetaMask 的措施將網路費用整合到交換報價中，使用者無需在執行交換之前手動充值 ETH 餘額。這項改進使用戶能夠繼續進行交易，而無需額外的啟動延遲。

MetaMask's Smart Transactions power the feature, optimizing gas usage and providing reliable execution. Popular tokens supported for gas-included swaps include USDT, USDC, DAI, ETH, wETH, wBTC, and others. By aggregating liquidity from decentralized exchanges, market makers, and aggregators, MetaMask ensures competitive pricing while streamlining user experience.

MetaMask 的智能交易為該功能提供支持，優化氣體使用並提供可靠的執行。支援 Gas 交換的熱門代幣包括 USDT、USDC、DAI、ETH、wETH、wBTC 等。透過聚合來自去中心化交易所、做市商和聚合商的流動性，MetaMask 確保有競爭力的定價，同時簡化使用者體驗。

The launch has drawn widespread praise from industry experts and enthusiasts. Michael Khekoian, Senior Business Development Manager at ConsenSys, highlighted the update in a recent tweet.

此次推出，並得到了業界專家和愛好者的廣泛讚譽。 ConsenSys 高級業務開發經理 Michael Khekoian 在最近的一條推文中強調了這項更新。

“Swaps in MetaMask no longer require ETH for gas… No more insufficient funds on swaps,” Khekoian noted.

Khekoian 指出：“MetaMask 中的掉期不再需要 ETH 作為燃料……掉期資金不再不足。”

Another crypto advocate emphasized how the feature simplifies DeFi interactions, urging users to update to version 12.6.0 or higher to benefit from gas-included swaps. However, skeptics, like a prominent member of the SHIB community, Lola, questioned the mechanics behind the feature.

另一位加密貨幣倡導者強調了該功能如何簡化 DeFi 交互，敦促用戶更新到版本 12.6.0 或更高版本，以從包含 Gas 的交換中受益。然而，懷疑論者，例如 SHIB 社群的傑出成員 Lola，對該功能背後的機制提出了質疑。

“Gas is needed no matter what, but the type of native token can be replaced or can have options via access list scripting… Hard fork they said,” the prominent Shiba Inu community figure stated.

「無論如何，Gas 都是需要的，但原生代幣的類型可以被替換，或者可以通過訪問列表腳本進行選擇……他們說是硬分叉，」著名的柴犬社區人物表示。

This statement suggests that MetaMask may be utilizing another cheap ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain to facilitate these swaps and conceal the gas fee from users. However, the specific implementation details have not been officially disclosed by MetaMask.

該聲明表明，MetaMask 可能正在利用以太坊區塊鏈上的另一種廉價 ERC-20 代幣來促進這些交換並向用戶隱藏 Gas 費用。不過，具體的實作細節尚未被MetaMask官方揭露。

A critical question is how this innovation could affect demand for ETH, especially as the cryptocurrency has underperformed in the current market cycle. While MetaMask's solution reduces reliance on ETH for gas fees in swaps, broader Ethereum ecosystem activities, such as staking and DeFi participation, still heavily rely on the token. Hence, the net effect on ETH's demand from this initiative remains to be seen.

一個關鍵問題是，這種創新將如何影響 ETH 的需求，特別是考慮到加密貨幣在當前的市場週期中表現不佳。雖然 MetaMask 的解決方案減少了互換中對 ETH 汽油費的依賴，但更廣泛的以太坊生態系統活動，例如質押和 DeFi 參與，仍然嚴重依賴代幣。因此，這項措施對 ETH 需求的淨影響仍有待觀察。

In related news, MetaMask, owned by ConsenSys, has been expanding its offerings and facing challenges simultaneously. In August 2024, the crypto wallet introduced a crypto debit card in partnership with Mastercard and Baanx, available in the EU and UK. This card allows users to spend crypto directly, bridging the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and blockchain.

相關消息稱，ConsenSys 旗下的 MetaMask 在不斷擴大產品範圍的同時也面臨挑戰。 2024 年 8 月，該加密錢包與 Mastercard 和 Baanx 合作推出了加密借記卡，可在歐盟和英國使用。該卡允許用戶直接使用加密貨幣，彌合了傳統金融（TradFi）和區塊鏈之間的差距。

Moreover, MetaMask launched a Delegation Toolkit in July, aiming to enhance participation in governance within web3 projects. However, a macOS malware targeted MetaMask and other wallets in August, leading to the theft of user funds.

此外，MetaMask 於 7 月推出了授權工具包，旨在增強 web3 專案治理的參與度。然而，8 月份，一款 macOS 惡意軟體針對 MetaMask 和其他錢包，導致用戶資金被盜。

Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against ConsenSys over its staking services, highlighting the increasing regulatory scrutiny in the digital asset space. These challenges underscore the need for advanced security and compliance measures as MetaMask continues to scale.

此外，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 就 ConsenSys 的質押服務提起訴訟，突顯了數位資產領域的監管審查日益嚴格。隨著 MetaMask 不斷擴展，這些挑戰凸顯了對先進安全性和合規性措施的需求。
