Gasless Minting

Explaining the cost-free option on Mintable!

What is gasless minting?

Gasless minting allows you to create an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain without paying gas fees or submitting a blockchain transaction yourself.

Instead of sending a transaction, you simply sign a message — and that’s it. Your item is minted, ready for sale, and fully on Ethereum mainnet.

🚀 This makes it easier than ever for new users to enter the NFT space — no ETH required, no wallet friction, no surprise fees.

🧠 How Does It Work?

When you use gasless minting on Mintable (powered by Mintology):

• You sign a message instead of submitting a blockchain transaction

• Your NFT is created and stored as a real ERC-721 token on Ethereum

• There is no gas fee for the creator — ever

⚠️ Since there’s no on-chain transfer yet, your NFT won’t show in your wallet right away — see below.

🔍 Why Doesn’t My NFT Appear in My Wallet?

Most wallets detect NFTs by watching for Transfer events on the blockchain.

Since gasless minting doesn’t emit a transfer event until the item is bought or manually transferred:

• The NFT won’t show up in your wallet immediately

• It does exist — you can see it on Mintable, and even on Etherscan

• You can still transfer it to yourself to trigger a wallet-visible event, or manually add it

✅ Is It on Ethereum Mainnet?

Yes! Gasless minting is done directly on the Ethereum mainnet, not an L2 or sidechain.

Your NFTs are:

• Fully ERC-721 compliant

• Viewable and tradable on any platform that supports Ethereum NFTs

• As real as any other NFT — just minted smarter
