To streamline the development of the Web-based Card Pay dashboard dApp, the mobile Cardstack wallet, and the command-line utilities, we have extracted the common capabilities into something called the Card Pay SDK.

The Card Pay SDK provides an easy way for JavaScript developers to tap into our implementation of prepaid cards, supply depots, token bridges, and revenue pools.

We have added support for the CARD token to be used as a native gas token in all the smart contracts generated on the xDAI chain, to ensure that we can support gasless transactions on layer 2.

This way, users will not have to acquire or swap for additional gas tokens like xDai or Eth. They can also use stablecoin balances to pay for gas, so they only need one type of token (whether it's DAI or CARD) to complete the transaction on layer 2.
