Solana expenses question

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi Enrico,

I’ve successfully managed to upload my assets using your tool, but I am confused about Sol expenses. When I upload 10000 images using metaplex upload command it costs me around 17 SOLs. I hope(d) that this tool can make it much cheaper, because I would pay for uploading 1 image by SOL, then the rest by AR, and that’s it. Sadly, however after I rebuild Candy Machine, it’s again 17 SOLs. Is it possible that I did something wrong or there is just no way how to avoid paying all those fees on Solana? I was very careful about being in the same folder all the time, actually it had to be metaplex/js/packages/cli, otherwise it wouldn’t work.

Thanks for that calc
