The new L2, which already went live with its testnet, eliminates transaction costs altogether and instead rewards liquidity providers and funds builders with yield generated from bridged assets and native app fees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe designed Status Network so developers can ship games, seamless social experiences and DeFi protocols without forcing users to preload gas or builders to manage paymaster contracts,\u201d said Cyprien Grau, the lead at Status Network, in a press release shared with CoinDesk. \u201cBy rehypothecating yield-bearing TVL and sharing every cent of net yield with the community, we\u2019re aligning incentives for all L2 stakeholders: builders get funding, LPs get sustainable returns, and users get a true free-to-play blockchain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the team, Status\u2019s approach converts bridged ETH and stablecoins into yield-bearing equivalents \u2014 like stETH or sDAI \u2014 and channels that income to support its ecosystem, sidestepping sequencer fees entirely. This, the team argues, will set up the protocol for a self-sustaining loop with those looking to play blockchain-based games: gasless UX attracts users, deposits, and activity, which in turn grows native yield and community incentives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith fees replaced by native yield, users can interact with apps without needing to bridge tokens or top up gas, creating a frictionless experience,\u201d the team wrote in the press release.<\/p>\n<p>Status Network\u2019s mainnet is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/tech\/2023\/09\/06\/everybody-in-blockchains-talking-about-sequencers-heres-why-theyre-misunderstood\">Sequencers Are Blockchain\u2019s Air Traffic Control.
