Can I deploy a smart contract without gas fees?

There is no way to deploy a smart contract without paying gas fees. Gas fees are a cost associated with deploying and using smart contracts on blockchain platforms. 

Explanation

• The cost of deploying a smart contract is based on the amount of gas required to deploy it. 
• The cost of storage is split between the contract creator and anyone who uses the contract. 
• The cost of developing a smart contract can vary depending on the complexity of the contract and the expertise required.
