Lazy Minting
Lazy minting is a method in the NFT (Non-Fungible Token) space where the creation of the NFT on the blockchain is deferred until the moment of purchase. This approach allows creators to list their digital assets without incurring upfront gas fees, as the minting cost is transferred to the buyer upon sale.
Lazy minting lets artists and developers offer NFTs without the financial risk associated with traditional minting processes—especially during periods of high network congestion and gas fees. This opens up the market to a broader range of creators.
Some of the leading NFT platforms, like OpenSea and Rarible, have implemented lazy minting to support creators in minimizing initial costs.
