# ArcPass: Gas Sponsorship for Arc Network

> ArcPass sponsors the first transaction for new wallets on Arc Network, removing the cold-start gas barrier so users can onboard without needing initial funds.

ArcPass is public onboarding infrastructure for Arc Network. It solves the cold-start gas problem by sponsoring the first transaction for eligible wallets — so new users can start interacting with the network immediately, without needing to acquire gas from an exchange or another funded wallet.
