Fees

Understanding the costs of buying and selling on Stargaze.

Marketplace Fees

When an NFT sells on Stargaze:

Fee Type	Amount	Paid By
Marketplace fee	2%	Seller
Creator royalty	x% (set by creator)	Seller
Gas fee	varies	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.
