# Gas Wars

Between the use of tickets, whitelisting to phase the sale of tickets and a mint queue, every measure will be taken to avoid the possibility of a gas war as has been seen in many NFT drops on Ethereum prior to Nemus.

Gas wars happen when many people are trying to be the first to perform an action on the Ethereum mainnet and begin offering higher amounts of gas to complete their transaction first. By using the above mentioned precautions, there will be less people minting tickets and NFTs at any given time.
