# Can I list an item without paying the "minting" fee?

The new Mintverse collection manager allows creators to make NFTs without any upfront gas cost, as the NFT isn’t transferred on-chain until the first purchase or transfer is made.

NFTs made with the Collection Manager follow the [ERC-1155 standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1155), partly to help with gas-free minting and to help us add exciting features in the near future.
