    Wallet Providers

    Some wallet providers, like Blocto, subsidize the FLOW network fees for their users. As such, the payer for all of these transactions, as listed on the scanner and in our tables, is the wallet address 0x55ad22f01ef568a1. Are other wallet providers doing something similar? Can we determine what wallet provider an address is using from payer or any other transaction data?
