Frequently asked questions

Are on-chain royalties guaranteed?

No — many marketplaces now make royalties optional for buyers, so actual income can be lower than the set percentage implies.

What's a typical NFT royalty rate?

Most collections set royalties between 2.5% and 10% of the secondary sale price.
