Do collectors pay gas fees when minting?
Do collectors pay gas fees when minting?
Yes. Generally speaking, gas fees occur for attempted transactions on the blockchain, including a mint. The amount will vary depending on a variety of factors, such as how many people are using the network at that moment. Your wallet provider, not OpenSea, calculates gas prices. OpenSea does not control gas prices, nor does it receive any profit from them, and OpenSea is not able to refund gas fees. You'll pay gas fees even if you weren't able to successfully mint an item.
How can I reserve items for my team?
How can I reserve items for my team?
To reserve a certain number of NFTs for your team, you can set up a team allocation stage by creating a presale stage with a 0 ETH mint price.
We recommend creating a single wallet address for this stage with a per-wallet limit of the total number of NFTs you’d like to allocate to your team. You can mint the entire team allocation to a single wallet when the presale stage begins, and send the NFTs to team members as needed.
