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 
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/
