Gas refers to the fee required to conduct a transaction on Polygon successfully.

More gas = faster transaction

Base fee = Minimum amount of gas required to include a transaction on the Polygon blockchain.

Priority fee = Additional fee for more priority.

Metamask automatically calculates the fees.

You can adjust the fees so your transaction goes through faster by clicking the ''Edit button'' or the ''Market button''

🧵4/10
''Gas wars'' happen when people are competing for a hyped mint.

They are paying more gas to mint the NFT before mint out.

You can try the ''aggressive option'' OR advanced settings for the most intense ''gas wars''.

What gas to use? Tricky question.

Too low and your transaction will fail, too high and you will be overpaying.

It is up to you to decide what amount you are comfortable paying.

@BrozoNFT public mint required 75000 GWEI... (5-10$ mint fees)

🧵6/10
You can use Block Native to estimate the gas fee that is required for a transaction to complete.

Polygon processes transaction quickly so you don't have much time to decide here.

Let's mint!

Decide on an amount you are comfortable paying for the mint (5$ mint fee).

Make sure to save your gas fee settings as default, so as you soon as hit that mint button, you don't have to lose precious time adjusting fees.
