For aspiring NFT creators, gas fees have long presented a significant obstacle. The frustration of waiting for Ethereum network congestion to ease, just to avoid paying substantial amounts like $20, $30, or even $40 to mint a single digital artwork, is a common experience. However, those days are now behind us! Mintable proudly announces the launch of gasless minting, a groundbreaking feature that completely eliminates upfront transaction fees for NFT creation.
The Pain of Ethereum Gas Fees for NFT Minting
When the Ethereum network experiences high traffic, the cost to perform even a simple action such as minting an NFT can skyrocket. Consequently, many users have rightly voiced their complaints about these exorbitant fees. This financial barrier has unfortunately hindered numerous artists and creators eager to participate in the burgeoning NFT space. The very notion of having to pay simply to create your digital artwork can be discouraging.
Introducing Gasless Minting
Now, the power to create your NFTs without the immediate concern of gas fees rests firmly in your hands. When you initiate the creation of a new NFT on Mintable, you will encounter a clear and advantageous choice: mint a transaction-free (gasless) NFT or proceed with a traditional NFT minting process.
The process is incredibly simple. All you need to do is digitally sign a message, and your NFT will be created on the blockchain.
Unlock the NFT World Without Upfront Costs
This innovative feature significantly broadens access to the NFT world, especially for newcomers who were previously hesitant due to the necessity of upfront financial investment. You no longer need to spend money for gas just to begin the exciting process of creating your own digital collectibles.

FAQ
What exactly is gasless minting?
In simple terms, gasless minting allows you to create your NFT on the blockchain without the immediate need to submit a costly transaction. By simply signing a message, your digital item is recorded on the blockchain, removing the initial friction of gas fees and welcoming a wave of new users to the NFT ecosystem.
Is this on a Layer 2 network or the Ethereum mainnet?
This innovative gasless minting feature operates directly on the main Ethereum network!
Why doesn’t my gasless NFT immediately appear in my wallet?
Most crypto wallets identify NFTs by listening for “transfer events” on the blockchain. Since gasless minting doesn’t involve an initial on-chain transaction, this transfer event only occurs when the NFT is bought or transferred to another wallet (including your own). Rest assured, your item exists on the blockchain and is visible on Mintable and Etherscan. You may be able to manually add the NFT’s contract address and token ID to your wallet to view it, depending on your wallet provider.
Are there any hidden fees or extra costs when someone buys my gasless NFT?
Absolutely not! The NFT is already minted when it’s created gaslessly. The buyer or sender incurs no additional or delayed minting costs.
Are gasless NFTs standard ERC-721 tokens?
Yes, all NFTs created through Mintable’s gasless minting are fully compliant ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
