# Gas Fee Options for Trait Minting

**Option 1: Subsidized Gas Fees**

In this option, collection owners cover the gas fees for minting operations. To facilitate this, collection owners will have their own Gas Tanks, which function similarly to a prepaid debit card. Admins can add funds to their Gas Tanks, enabling gasless transactions for users during the minting process. This option can help encourage user participation and reduce barriers to entry.

#### Option 2: Minters Pay Gas (Beta)

In this option, minters are responsible for paying the gas fees associated with minting the traits to their NFTs. This option is currently in beta testing. By choosing this option, collection administrators can reduce their own costs while ensuring that minters bear the expenses related to adding traits to their NFTs.

By selecting the appropriate option for handling gas fees, collection administrators can balance their financial responsibilities and user experience, depending on their specific goals and community preferences.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.playground.ooo/degen-engine/guides/minting-new-traits/gas-fee-options-for-trait-minting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
