*Free mints incur gas fees for NFT minting. Therefore, despite the absence of an upfront cost, you will still need to cover the associated transaction gas fees. It is crucial to factor this in when assessing the profitability of a minting process. In the context of Solana, a free mint carries a gas fee of 0.025 SOL. Hence, if the NFT price falls below this threshold, the minting would not have been profitable.”
