FAQs
Will the fee amounts change over time?
The Metaplex Foundation is constantly monitoring community feedback related to the fees and may change the fee amounts over time. Our goal is for fees to be minimally disruptive and promote the growth and usage of the protocol.
How are Metaplex Protocol Fees Used?
All protocol fees are used to further the objectives of the Metaplex Foundation, which is a non-profit organization established to foster the research, development and adoption of the Metaplex ecosystem. This includes providing incentives and assistance to the Metaplex community for the continued development, security, governance, and administration of the Metaplex Protocol and Metaplex DAO.
Currently, 50% of protocol fees are converted to $MPLX and contributed to the Metaplex DAO treasury. The remaining 50% are reserved by the Metaplex Foundation to support the long-term sustainable development of the Metaplex ecosystem.
