Lazy Minting OpenSea

Gass-less minting, basically demising the NFT principles of work being uploaded off-chain. Your NFT is owned by the platform. The NFT gets on the mainnet after it gets sold.

Simple explanation

Lazy Minting features:

"No gas fees. You have to pay once for the first minting in ETH and the first bid in “wrapped ETH” (WETH), but after that, you can upload artwork after artwork without any gas fees. It does mean there are no real limits besides your imagination (don’t spam, though).
Content editing. Possibility to edit and format description of your artworks. You even have more space for a comprehensive textual explanation — or by providing a link to your external blog or website about this artwork.
Galleries You can open several galleries (each of them has to be approved by OpenSea). Useful if you create in various styles and about various topics — and have pretty different target groups who might be distracted by your other themes.
Unlockable Contents This feature is especially interesting for me — it even allows fully new ways of storytelling (I’ll write later more about it). NFT democratizes art. Everybody can view the artwork, published and crypto-registered with NTF-distribution. But only collectors possess it — and support the author for further creativity. By purchasing an artwork within OpenSea, collectors get “unlocked contents” links to further materials the artist provides only for new artwork owners. Exclusive data. Sounds like another marketing stunt, but can be used for fully new narratives (later more about it)." - Vlad Alex
