To minimize gas fees, you can time your transactions during off-peak hours, use Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum or Optimism, or explore blockchains with lower fees, such as Solana or Tezos.

Gas fees can be a real hurdle, but timing transactions can make a big difference! Gas fees vary due to network demand; during high traffic, fees spike as users compete for transaction priority. To minimize fees, I often check gas fee trackers and aim for off-peak times, like late nights or weekends, which usually helps me save quite a bit on costs.

I totally get the frustration with gas fees, especially when you're just starting with NFTs. They can vary depending on network congestion, the complexity of the transaction, and the blockchain you're using. Personally, I’ve found that using Layer 2 solutions like Polygon can help reduce gas costs significantly. Also, timing transactions when the network is less busy can save some fees. Have you tried any of these methods, or do you have other tips for minimizing gas fees?
