Fees

Catflow charges in three places, and nowhere else.

No creation fee, and no royalty on resales​

Creating a flow is free. Catflow takes nothing on a resale beyond the buyer and seller fees above — there is no creator royalty layered on top.

Off-market sales pay Catflow nothing. A plain transferFrom, or a sale on OpenSea or any other marketplace, is invisible to us. The buyer and seller fees apply only to sales made through Catflow.

Rates are locked, forward-only​

Every rate is fixed when the thing it applies to is created, so it can never be changed under you:

  • The claim fee is baked into each flow at creation. It is a constant of that position, with no setter and a hard cap in the factory. An existing flow's claim fee cannot be raised, ever.
  • Sale fees are snapshotted per listing — the rate current when you created the listing.
  • Sale fees are snapshotted per offer — the rate current when the offer was made.

Every setter on the factory is forward-only: changing a rate affects listings and offers created after the change, never ones already on the books.

Where the claim fee comes from​

The claim fee is taken as a position forwards a claim to the NFT's owner — a cut of the fees as they pass through. It is recurring revenue for Catpound: it earns every time a flow's fees are claimed, whether or not the flow ever resells.

Because a claim is open to anyone, anyone can trigger the claim and pay the gas, but the owner is always the one paid and the treasury always takes the same claim fee. The app lets Catpound do this on an owner's behalf from the admin desk; a holder can equally press Claim themselves.

Rounding​

Fees are floored per asset as they are taken, and the remainder is kept on the owner's side. Sub-unit rounding is not a place where value leaks — see the FAQ if you want the detail.
