In this January 2022 episode, Montemagno explains gas fees through an NFT purchase example on OpenSea, comparing them to an extra cost beyond the displayed item price. He describes how even a zero-priced item can involve a network fee and stresses that the seller does not receive that fee. The explanation accompanies a promotion of his Crazy Fury collection. Amounts, interfaces and expectations about network developments remain part of the 2022 account, rather than an up-to-date technical guide.
Key points
- The example distinguishes the NFT price from the total cost shown at checkout.
- The fee is explained in simplified terms as a variable network cost, separate from the seller’s proceeds.
- The demonstration is tied to the speaker’s collection launch and the technological context of January 2022.
