What are NFT gas fees?
NFT gas fees are a one-time payment that must be initiated when carrying out a transaction on the Ethereum BlockChain to cover the energy or in most cases sign the wallet you’re selling from.
Some marketplace like OpenSea collect it just once in a lifetime meanwhile some collect gas fees for every transaction(listing, buying, selling) you initiate on the marketplace.
Why is NFT gas so Expensive?
Gas fees might also vary depending on the marketplace and the number of transactions going on at a particular moment.
The more transaction being processed at that time calls for higher gas charges since the Blockchain network has to waste enough energy in the process.
