Coincheck — a Japanese crypto trading giant, is disrupting the category of gas payment by enabling users to settle with Bitcoin. This new mode of payment is introduced thanks to the company's partnership with a select number of gas companies in Tokyo.
The new gas payment program is dubbed 'Coincheck Gas.' The service offers two plans -- the Bitcoin Rewards Plan and the Bitcoin Payment Plan. Coincheck predicts that those who partake in the initative will have a discount of 3% and this difference will be gifted back to users on a monthly basis "in Bitcoin sent to their Coincheck wallets." As a result, not only does Coincheck Gas offer up a new, innovative way of payment, but it also introduces a reward system that will likely attract more people.
