Research direction

Start by reading EIP-1776 and reviewing the existing DEV token and Lockup contract references mentioned in the proposal. Determine the design and implementation boundaries for MDEV conversion, gasless transfers, staking, and unstaking, including the required off-chain server; done would require an agreed proposal and implementation plan.

Description

core layers usability

Many beginners don't have ETH for gas fees. That's a challenge commonly known as the barrier to entry for blockchains (especially Ethereum).

Smart contracts that support meta-transactions (https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1776) allow users to interact with the contract by simply signing them in their wallets.

DEV tokens are already deployed and have no upgradability, so creating a paired token to support meta-transactions. For example, MDEV.

  • MDEV is designed to be converted with DEV on a 1:1 basis, and MDEV can achieve gasless transfers with functions like metaTransfer.
  • Staking and unstaking could be made gasless by having the Lockup contract support meta-transactions.

MDEV implementations will not be built into the protocol core because meta-transactions require an off-chain server.
