I am working on an NFT project where gas fees are a major issue. High fees make minting expensive, especially for large batches. I have explored Layer 2 solutions like Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum. These seem promising for reducing costs, but I am unsure about their effectiveness for NFTs.
Batch minting also seems to lower costs, but I need tools or libraries to simplify this process. I am considering ERC-1155 instead of ERC-721 for its cost efficiency, but I would like to know how this affects secondary market use or transferability.
Are there other proven ways to save on minting costs while maintaining security and decentralization? I am looking for practical suggestions or tools from developers who have dealt with similar challenges.
