Some providers have agreed to cover people transactions as welcoming strategy.

Like Blocto. Where it pays for those wallets made them and covering the required fees to operate.

We know that the used address for cover those fees is the 0x55ad22f01ef568a1.

Task

• Are other wallet providers doing something similar? Can we determine what wallet provider an address is using from payer or any other transaction data?

Method

This will be a straighforward approach to see those paying for most of the transactions and seeing high flowfeespays and high gas usage.

For this **Flipside’s** Data repository will work in conjunct with Flowscan.

• For transactions, flow.core.fact_transactions table will be used.
  • Joined by flow.core.dim_contract_labels to try and identify them.

By the nature of the question, there is not gonna be a straight answer

Lets do some digging right here.

• First, a way to head on this, is looking for those transactions with the next address covering for those fees, 0x55ad22f01ef568a1.
• And after correlating that address with the rest of the payments made in DUC, the next address comes as payer, 0x18eb4ee6b3c026d2, now we know that the medium Blocto has for paying for those fees.
• And if that address appeared on a continuous basis as payer of different transactions, is possible the next ones big transactors might be identifiable on the same mechanism.

So as a payer

• 0x7f04aa0b7a8f7ae2 is the next suspect, when seeing each account of those on the right, this is the only one not paired to a token, while maintaining an activity similar to that of Blocto and paying for flow fees.
• 0x55ad22f01ef568a1 is already pinned down as the Blocto Flowpayer.
• 0x61d5d84225718c45 Comes as another option to cover for Tenant Service NFT (? it does appear paying for the flow fees.
• 0x7f04aa0b7a8f7ae2 appears to be the one paying for FiatToken fees.
• 0x6f649aee955bef6d also appears to be paying for another NFT collection.

These are the ones that particularly have transactions activity that could be directly related to paying for fees, even better than those of Top gas payers that could be easily identifiable as nft markets.

Tho if we move based on just top gas payers, the NFT gaming platform Joyride, could explain their high gas usage while covering the fees the same as blocto.

I mean, its all speculation

Haven’t found a way yet to reliably discard those address that are specifically for the purpose of paying fees coverage. This method is highly unreliably and would work with working on more than a few providers, if even i managed to get some of them right.
