Gm everyone, and happy new week 👋
🩵🩷This one is for newbies in (or exploring) the NFT space.😍
In my early years in the NFT space, once I secured a WL and had enough funds for mint, I’d just go ahead without thinking twice but over time, I learned it’s not just all about 'click and mint'
Firstly, not every project is genuine.
Secondly, even legit projects can still put you at a disadvantage if you ignore gas fees especially with how high ETH gas has been lately.
Back then, gas fees were low, so it wasn’t something many of us worried about but now, it can completely change your outcome after mint.
Here are a couple of things to watch out for as a newbie, during your mint:
1️⃣ Let’s say the mint price is 0.0002 ETH (around $0.47). You might open your wallet (I mostly use MetaMask) and see gas fees going as high as $1.20.
If the floor price after mint is around $1, you’re already at a loss if you plan to flip. What looked like a good entry suddenly isn’t.(check label 2 below ). So what you need to do is to click on the pencil icon there, for gas adjustment.
Note: Lower gas fees might mean a slower mint process but it would definitely get the job done at the end.
2️⃣ Also, pay close attention to what you’re being charged. In the screenshot (check label 1), make sure the mint price matches what the project announced, this is totally different from the gas fees.
Some scam projects advertise “free mint” but still sneak in hidden charges (not gas). I’ve fallen for this more than once.
The screenshots attached break this down better.
Hope this saves someone from a bad mint decision.
