Marketplace Fees & Royalties

Each marketplace that Reservoir supports has different rules around fees and royalties. Below is a summary:

OpenSea

Royalties

Collection enforces blocklist	Min Royalty	Max Royalty
Yes	Creator configured amount	Creator configured amount
No	0.5%	Creator configured amount

Marketplace Fee

Collection volume	Royalty >= 0.5%	Royalty < 0.5%
Low	Fee = 0.5%	Fee = 0.5%
High	Fee = 0	Fee = 0.5%-Royalty

Note: There are no clear guidelines as to what qualifies as “low volume”, so we lookup and cache the marketplace fee per collection when you use our List API.

LooksRare

LooksRare has a fixed total fee of 2%. If a collection has royalties configured, 0.5% goes to the creator, and 1.5% to protocol. Otherwise, the whole 2% goes to protocol.

X2Y2

X2Y2 has a fixed protocol fee of 0.5%, and enforces creator configured royalties. Note that creators need to explicitly set royalties on X2Y2 for them to be applied
