Fees

Check what a mint, trade or sell-back costs before you sign. Each route charges only its own fees. All amounts are in USDC. Network costs are separate and are never part of a fee. Read Risks and disclaimer first. For what testnet actually charges today, which is not this schedule, see What’s live right now.

In one line

Paid mint: 5% to KURV, and the creator and the backing split the rest. Trading: one 5–10% royalty. Sell-back: a 10% haircut plus that royalty. Vault resale: that royalty, and the rest stays in backing. Free mint: $0.25. Backing contributions: no fee.

Fee schedule

Route	Fee	Who gets it
Paid mint	5% of the price	KURV
Paid mint, after the fee	Creator picks 0–50% of the remaining 95%	Creator; the rest goes to backing
Trade between collectors	One royalty of 5–10%, set by the creator (never 0%, free collections too)	50% creator, 25% vault, 25% KURV
Sell back to the vault	10% haircut plus the royalty, both on the piece’s gross backing	Haircut stays in backing; royalty split as above
Vault resells a piece	The royalty only	Split as above; the vault keeps the rest and its 25%
Free mint or claim	$0.25 per NFT minted	KURV (the collector pays, or the creator covers it)
Backing contribution	None	100% to that collection’s backing

No stacking. A $1 paid mint pays $0.05, not $0.25. Four free NFTs pay $1.00 in total, plus network costs. An accepted offer pays the trade royalty once.

$100 examples

Paid mint at $100

Creator share	Creator	Backing	KURV
0%	$0.00	$95.00	$5.00
25%	$23.75	$71.25	$5.00
50%	$47.50	$47.50	$5.00

The top creator share is 50% of $95, not 50% of $100. This is how the money is split. It is not the backing each piece ends up with.

Trade between collectors at $100. The royalty comes out of what the seller gets. The buyer pays the listed price, plus network costs.

Royalty	Seller	Creator	Vault	KURV
5%	$95.00	$2.50	$1.25	$1.25
10%	$90.00	$5.00	$2.50	$2.50

Sell-back of a piece with $100 of gross backing. Both cuts are taken from the same $100.

Royalty	You get	Creator	KURV	Stays in backing
5%	$85.00	$2.50	$1.25	$11.25
10%	$80.00	$5.00	$2.50	$12.50

The piece goes to the vault. It is not burned.

Vault resale at $100

Royalty	Creator	KURV	Vault keeps
5%	$2.50	$1.25	$96.25
10%	$5.00	$2.50	$92.50

The vault can only resell a piece when what it keeps covers the backing that piece needs. So a $100 sale at a 10% royalty cannot reactivate a piece that needs $100 of backing.

Free mint with a $10 contribution

Line	Amount
NFT price	$0.00
Service fee to KURV	$0.25
Contribution to backing	$10.00
To the creator	$0.00

A contribution goes to the whole collection. It does not give you an extra NFT, extra backing of your own, or a refund.

What is free

• Creating a collection
• Listing, changing a price, cancelling, and placing or cancelling offers
• Batches (you pay the per-NFT fees, with no extra charge)
• Gifts and transfers (no fee and no royalty)
• Claiming fees you have earned
• Reverted transactions (network costs still apply)

Rules that stay fixed

• The creator sets the royalty and the creator share when setting up the collection. This schedule gives no one a way to change rates after launch.
• No token discount, token tax or revenue share applies to NFT fees.

What backing means

In KURV, the floor means the vault floor: the backing each piece carries in its vault. It is not a market price, and it is not a promise of value. A free collection can start with no backing at all. Read Risks and disclaimer before you mint, trade or sell back.
