# Creator Royalties and Platform Fees

All transactions are subject to <mark style="color:purple;">creator royalties</mark> and <mark style="color:purple;">platform fees</mark> which are subtracted from the transaction amount. Platform fees for Hinata.io are currently set to 0%. Creator royalties for all collections deployed using the Hinata platform are decided at the time of contract creation. For the launch of the alpha, all creator royalties for external whitelisted collections are based upon current OpenSea collection settings.&#x20;

### Creator royalties

Creator royalties for individual collections can be set to a maximum of 98.5% of the transaction amount and split between three Ethereum addresses.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Note that setting collection royalties above 10% may discourage owners from listing NFTs on the secondary market.
{% endhint %}

Sales royalties are distributed at the time of purchase by marketplace contracts and are not subject to escrow.&#x20;

### Platform fees

Currently, Hinata.io is not charging any platform fee for primary and secondary NFT sales. In the future, fees will be capped at 1.5% and subject to a sliding scale based on account type, marketplace participation, and other factors.&#x20;

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hinata.io/trading-on-hinata/creator-royalties-and-platform-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
