Describe your question in detail.

I'm currently working on an NFT contract where I mint NFTs to various users, covering the gas fees myself. I've noticed that gas costs vary depending on the recipient's account status:

If the recipient's account is not yet active on-chain, the transaction incurs significantly higher gas fees, likely due to the overhead of account creation or initialization.

Even when minting to two existing on-chain accounts using the same function and identical arguments, the gas fee can still vary between transactions.

It seems the increased cost is tied to account state initialization for new addresses.

My goal is to optimize this process so that each minting transaction incurs only the minimum necessary gas fees, regardless of whether the recipient's account is already on-chain.

Does anyone have recommendations for reducing these extra costs or optimizing the minting strategy?
