# 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
