Gas Stations are a great feature on our upcoming road map. As we welcome a prosperous 2025, we’re thrilled to share exciting updates about the transformative potential of gas stations and programmable wallets. These technologies promise to revolutionize business-to-business transactions within the Salesforce ecosystem and beyond.
Gas Stations and Circle Programmable Wallets
At the forefront of our initiatives is the integration of Circle programmable wallets. These innovative tools enable seamless management of cryptocurrency transactions directly within Salesforce. Leveraging our partnership with Bridge and their robust KYC/KYB capabilities, businesses can securely on-ramp and off-ramp both Circle and non-Circle stablecoins.

A gas station, in this context, refers to a smart contract feature allowing businesses to cover gas fees on behalf of their customers. This feature is vital for creating frictionless payment experiences. For instance, European clients can use programmable wallets to pay U.S.-based companies in stablecoins without dealing with international banking fees or managing Ethereum gas fees. The gas station absorbs these fees, making the process faster, cheaper, and more user-friendly.
Enabling Global Commerce
Imagine setting up a crypto payment gateway for your customers. They connect their bank accounts, complete KYB verification, and seamlessly send payments. These transactions—converted from fiat to stablecoins like USDC—are then processed without any gas fee hurdles for the customer. Businesses benefit from reduced transaction costs, streamlined processes, and a competitive edge in global markets.
Driving Blockchain Adoption in 2025
This year, we’re doubling down on our efforts to enhance blockchain’s role in global commerce. Our collaboration with Salesforce and Circle aims to deliver unparalleled value to businesses adopting these technologies. By focusing on tools like programmable wallets and gas stations, we’re simplifying the adoption journey for enterprises worldwide.
Conclusion
The future of blockchain technology lies in its ability to reduce barriers and foster seamless interactions between businesses and their customers. Gas stations and programmable wallets are pivotal innovations that will fuel this evolution. Join us on our journey to redefine the future of payments and transactions.
