Struggling with high gas fees for a custom token launch... any tips?
Hey everyone! Honestly, I’ve been trying to map out a small project on Ethereum, but the more I look into custom token features, the more I get a headache. It feels like every time I want to add something specific, the gas fees just skyrocket.
It’s a bit tricky because I want full control over the functions (especially supply management), but I’m not exactly a pro developer. I’m looking for something that isn't a total nightmare to set up. Has anyone found a way to keep things gas-optimized without needing to write a mountain of smart contract code? I just want to get this thing live and actually enjoy the process for once lol.

I totally feel you. Starting out can be super stressful when you’re staring at code and gas estimates all day. Honestly, my best advice is to just take a breath, relax and enjoy the creative side of your project instead of stressing the technicalities.
I had a similar issue last month where I needed to handle some supply adjustments. I ended up using a tool called ETH burn https://20lab.app/tools/erc20/burn-tokens/ethereum/ to clear out some excess from my wallet, and it was a solid experience. It’s one of those things where you realize you don't have to do everything the hard way.
If you’re looking for a setup that’s already optimized for gas (I think I saved around 40% on my last deployment), there are platforms out there that let you pick your features and handle the security side for you. It’s much better for your "peace of mind" to use something audited than to DIY and hope for the best. Good luck with the launch, man—don't let the fees ruin the vibe!
