# Sponsored Transactions

#### Sponsored transaction: sponsor pays gas

Set `sponsored: true` when building the swap. In this mode the swap does not use `txb.gas` as input or output, because the gas coin belongs to the sponsor.

```typescript
import { Transaction } from "@mysten/sui/transactions"
import { SUI_TYPE_ARG } from "@mysten/sui/utils"

const sender = userSigner.toSuiAddress()
const sponsor = sponsorSigner.toSuiAddress()
const txb = new Transaction()

await client.fastRouterSwap({
  router: routerRes,
  txb,
  slippage: 0.01,
  sponsored: true,
})

// Build command-only bytes. Pass sender so CoinWithBalance can resolve
// the user's input coins before the sponsor adds gas data.
const txKindBytes = await client.buildTransactionKind(txb, sender)

const { objects: gasCoins } = await client.client.listCoins({
  owner: sponsor,
  coinType: SUI_TYPE_ARG,
  limit: 1,
})

const sponsorCoins = gasCoins.map((coin) => ({
  objectId: coin.objectId,
  version: coin.version,
  digest: coin.digest,
}))

const sponsoredTx = client.buildSponsoredTransaction({
  txKindBytes,
  sender,
  sponsor,
  sponsorCoins,
  gasBudget: "100000000",
})

const result = await client.signAndExecuteSponsoredTransaction(
  sponsoredTx,
  userSigner,
  sponsorSigner
)
```

For gas-station integrations, the sponsored transaction flow can be split between the user and the sponsor:

1\. The user builds the command-only transaction bytes by calling `buildTransactionKind`.

2\. The sponsor converts those transaction-kind bytes into a full sponsored transaction by attaching gas data, including `gasOwner` and `gasPayment`.

3\. Both the user and the sponsor sign the same full transaction bytes.

4\. The fully signed transaction is then submitted to the network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cetus-1.gitbook.io/cetus-developer-docs/developer/cetus-aggregator/features-available/sponsored-transactions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
