Proposal: PIP-118: Set gas exempt addresses on Paloma

Status: Proposed

Author(s): @Birdlady

Type: ParameterUpdate

Discussions-to: Governance - Paloma

Created: 01/27/25

Simple Summary

This is a proposal to create the initial whitelist for addresses that are exempt from paying gas on Paloma.

Abstract

With Paloma v2.4.4 , a whitelist feature was introduced that allows addresses to be exempt from paying gas on Paloma. The goal is to allow anyone to trade on Paloma without need for gas or transaction fees. This follows that anyone can create a token on Paloma freely and that those tokens can live on any other chain without any additional costs.

Motivation

To set the initial whitelist for exempting addresses from paying gas.

Specification Overview

Add the following addresses to the initial gas exempt whitelist:
