Two frictions most wallets never fix
Multi-chain crypto has two quiet taxes. The first is native gas: every chain insists on being paid in its own coin — ETH on the EVM world, SOL on Solana, Toncoin on TON — so you keep idle balances of tokens you never wanted just to move the tokens you do. The second is rarely discussed: most fee or utility tokens are inflationary or static, so the fees a network generates accumulate somewhere rather than benefiting holders. WATS answers both with one design — and does it without ever taking custody of your keys.
Charged in ATS, not native gas
In the WATS Hot Wallet, every action — transfers, swaps, staking — is charged in a single token, ATS (Alltoscan Token), instead of the native gas of whatever chain you are on. From your side, no ETH, SOL or Toncoin leaves your wallet; ATS does. The network still receives its native gas underneath — that never goes away — but a paymaster settles it for you, so provisioning gas per chain stops being your job.
What ERC-4337 does here
On EVM chains, the mechanism is ERC-4337, the account-abstraction standard. It introduces a paymaster: a component that can pay a transaction's native gas on your behalf while charging you in a different token. That is the precise step where "pay in ATS instead of ETH" happens. ERC-4337 is an EVM standard, so it governs the EVM side; on Solana and TON, an equivalent fee-payer/relayer plays the same role. The point is not the plumbing on any one chain — it is that you never have to think about the native gas token again.
What OFT does here
A single fee token is only simple if it is genuinely one token everywhere. ATS is a LayerZero OFT — an Omnichain Fungible Token — which means it exists natively across chains rather than as a pile of wrapped or bridged copies. One ATS balance is spendable on EVM, Solana and TON alike. Combine that with ERC-4337-style abstraction and the result is the experience the ATS fee model promises: hold one token, transact anywhere, never chase native gas.
The burn: from 100,000,000 to 30,000,000
Here is where WATS parts company with ordinary fee tokens. The ATS collected as fees is not recycled or pooled — it is burned. Every fee paid permanently removes ATS from circulation, driving total supply down from an initial 100,000,000 toward a 30,000,000 floor. It is a deflationary model powered by ordinary use: the more the wallet is used, the scarcer ATS becomes, until supply settles at roughly a third of where it started. The burn is a design commitment tied to real activity, not a fixed calendar, so the pace tracks usage rather than a countdown.
The first and only wallet to combine both
Plenty of wallets abstract gas: ERC-4337 paymasters bring token-paid gas to EVM apps that adopt them, and a few wallets route fees through a sponsor. What no other wallet does is put these together the way WATS does — ERC-4337 + OFT single-token fees, charged instead of native gas on every transfer, paired with a fee burn that drives supply from 100M down to 30M. That specific combination is what makes WATS the first and only wallet of its kind, and it is a claim grounded in mechanism, not marketing: the standards are open, the token is one omnichain asset, and the burn is visible in supply.
What it does not change: your keys
None of this touches custody. WATS is non-custodial across the Chrome extension, the mobile app and the Hot Wallet: you hold your own keys, and WATS never holds a key. Paying fees in ATS does not hand control to anyone, and burning ATS does not either. The fee token decides which token pays; the burn decides how supply changes; custody — who can authorise a move of funds — stays entirely with you. Conflating a single fee token with a single point of control gets the model exactly backwards.

Frequently asked questions
Does paying fees in ATS or burning ATS give WATS custody of my funds?
No. WATS is non-custodial across every product: you hold your own keys and WATS never holds a key. The fee token and the burn are about which token pays and how supply changes — neither touches who controls your wallet.
Is ERC-4337 what lets me pay in ATS on Solana and TON too?
Not directly. ERC-4337 is an EVM standard, so it handles the pay-in-ATS step on EVM chains via a paymaster. On Solana and TON a fee-payer/relayer settles the native cost instead. What makes the experience identical everywhere is LayerZero OFT: ATS is one omnichain token, so a single balance works across EVM, Solana and TON.
Will the ATS supply really drop to 30 million?
The model burns ATS collected as fees, reducing total supply from 100,000,000 toward a 30,000,000 floor. It is driven by real usage rather than a fixed schedule, so the pace depends on activity — the design goal is a 30,000,000 floor, not an overnight cut.
