# Sponsorship

> Cover transaction fees for your users and manage sponsorship spending across your projects.

Sponsorship lets your application pay transaction fees on behalf of users. Cover the costs of a first transaction, subsidize selected interactions, or offer a fee-free experience across supported chains.

Sponsorship applies to same-chain and crosschain intents. It pays transaction costs, not the assets users transfer, trade, or deposit.

## Choose which costs to cover

Sponsorable costs include gas, bridge fees, swap fees, and Rhinestone protocol fees. Application fees remain user-paid.

Embedded wallets select sponsorship for the intent as a whole. The custom signer SDK also lets your application choose individual fee categories—for example, covering gas and bridging while leaving swap fees to the user.

You can require sponsorship or offer a user-paid alternative.

## Manage your budget

Mainnet sponsorship charges from all your projects draw from one organization sponsorship account. Manage spending in the [Dashboard](/home/resources/dashboard) with project-level per-intent caps and an organization-wide monthly limit.

Per-intent caps help control the cost of individual transactions. The monthly limit helps manage overall usage across your organization; it does not allocate separate budgets to each project.
