That’s a great question, and we completely understand how it might feel confusing. The pack itself is indeed free — we’re not charging for the item itself — but since it’s onchain, there’s a small blockchain fee involved to mint it. This ensures the assets remain decentralized, tradeable, and securely yours forever.
We’re committed to making Ethgard Legends an authentic Web3 experience where you truly own your assets. To keep this commitment, minting, pack opening and gameplay rewards are onchain, which inherently comes with minor transaction costs. However, we’ve worked hard to ensure these fees are minimal, with transactions on B3 costing less than $0.001 in most cases.
We hope this clears up any confusion! If you have further questions or feedback, let us know!
