ERC 721A Azuki

Introduction: ERC-721A was developed by Azuki team

Overview

Compared to the OpenZeppelin ERC-721 version, ERC-721A is more gas-cost-efficient, especially when minting more NFTs from one collection. For gas cost comparison, assuming 300 gwei and $3500/ETH, see the table below.

| NUMBER MINTED | USD MINT COST (ENUMERABLE) | USD MINT COST (ERC721A) | DIFFERENCE | | Mint 1 | $162.55 | $80.52 | $82.03 | | Mint 2 | $283.86 | $82.76 | $201.10 | | Mint 3 | $461.84 | $85.00 | $376.84 | | Mint 4 | $526.46 | $87.23 | $439.23 | | Mint 5 | $740.30 | $89.47 | $650.83 |

How ERC-721A supports gas optimisation:

  • Removing duplicate storage from OZ ERC721Enumerable

  • Updating the owner’s balance once per batch mint request, instead of per minted NFT

  • updating the owner data once per batch mint request, instead of per minted NFT
