“# Rarible introduces zero-cost NFT minting feature <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace Rarible has introduced a new functionality titled \u201clazy minting\u201d that promises users the ability to create nonfungible tokens at zero cost \u2014 all while enhancing environmental sustainability on the platform.<\/p>\n

Instead of the traditional method whereby data is stored on the blockchain immedia<\/a>tely after minting, Rarible announced Monday that, under its new program, NFTs are<\/a> \u201cminted not at the moment of creation, but at the moment of purchase. It\u2019s the buyer who pays the gas fees when purchasing the item.\u201d\u00a0In this case, data will be stored on a decentralized peer-to-peer storage system called IPFS.<\/p>\n

Amid the influx of new retail participants into the NFT space over the past year, a large segment has been perturbed by the consistently high gas fees on the Ethereum network, increasing their barrier-to-entry and diverting many investors to alternative blockchains, such as Solana. <\/p>\n

According<\/a> to data from Rarible Analytics, the current average gas price on Rarible for minting a single ERC-721 token is 0.022ETH, equivalent to $82.26 at current prices.\u00a0This is actually a favorable time to mint on the platform, in comparison to frequent times of high network activity where gas fees can soar to hundreds of dollars.<\/p>\n

This is why the Rarible implementation will be welcomed as a positive initiative by the community, though it is yet unknown as to its potential impact on the wider market. <\/p>\n
