Buyer & Seller

Example

If an NFT sells for 100 ATOM with 5% royalties:

  • Seller receives: 92 ATOM (100 - 2% marketplace - 5% royalty)

  • Creator receives: 5 ATOM

  • Marketplace receives: 2 ATOM

Minting Fees

When minting from a new collection:

  • Mint price - Set by the creator

  • Gas fee - per mint

Gas Fees

Gas fees are paid to the Cosmos Hub for processing transactions. On Stargaze, these are typically very low (fractions of a cent).

You pay gas when you:

  • Buy or sell an NFT

  • Make or cancel an offer

  • List or delist an NFT

  • Transfer an NFT

  • Mint an NFT

Creator Royalties

Royalties are optional fees set by collection creators. They're paid automatically on every secondary sale, giving creators ongoing income from their work.

  • Minimum: 0%

  • Paid on every resale

  • Creators need to stay active: inactive creator wallets (1+ year) will not receive royalties anymore. The collection royalties will be reduced to 0% in this case.
