- Evius creates important blockchain products for many users on different platforms like Astar, NEAR, and Bitcoin.
- The team has made cool tools like the first NFT marketplace and a platform to help artists create tokens.
- They noticed Polkadot doesn’t have a feature called meta-transactions, which lets users send transactions without paying fees directly.
- This is a problem because new users find it hard to get tokens for fees and the system can be complicated.

- This template will help people use apps without needing special tokens and will be safe from attacks.
- The goal is to make things better for everyone using Polkadot and its smart contracts.
