Cost to deploy ERC721 token to mainnet

Support Contracts
#1

Hi… Thanks for the article, it’s very useful and exhaustive… However, can you please indicate what’s the typical cost today (including gas fees) for deploying a custom NFT smart contract to the Mainnet??

Hi @veetwokay,

Welcome to the community :wave:

I recently deployed a simple ERC721 NFT (generated using OpenZeppelin Contracts Wizard: https://blog.openzeppelin.com/wizard) and with a gas price of 150 Gwei this cost ~ 0.4 ETH, with a cost of minting each token at ~0.1 ETH.

I would recommend determining the best time to deploy and mint using tools such as https://www.gasnow.org/

Hi @abcoathup, thanks for the response, I had the same question! For the ~0.1 ETH per mint, is it possible to reduce this cost and pre-mint 100 tokens to one address as part of the contract deployment?

Hi @scotato,

You could create a batch mint to mint a batch of tokens to one address. I recommend trying it out on a public testnet.

Thanks @abcoathup!

Does that require implementing an ERC1155 contract or is it possible just with an ERC721?

Hello!
Firstly, thanks for your tutorial Create an NFT and deploy to a public testnet, using Remix

I newbie and within 2 hours add my NFT to opensea with openzeppelin, IPFS and metadata for it in rinkeby test network.

But read a lot of threads and can't see the answer how to do batch mint.
Maybe, you can help? What hourly rate?

I wanted to mint some to myself instead of write in whitelisted addresses. Bored apes yacht club had the batch mint loop at the end of their contract. Somrthing like a for loop through the first tokens up to the batch size.
