# Fees & Commission ## Platform Fee Blocksmiths charges a platform fee on each sale. The default fee is **10%**. | Sale Amount | Platform Fee (10%) | Vendor Receives | | ----------- | ------------------ | --------------- | | 10 USDC | 1 USDC | 9 USDC | | 50 USDC | 5 USDC | 45 USDC | | 100 USDC | 10 USDC | 90 USDC | | 500 USDC | 50 USDC | 450 USDC | ## How the Fee is Applied The fee is deducted automatically at the time of each transaction. There is no invoicing or end-of-month settlement. The split happens immediately when a buyer's payment is confirmed on-chain. ## Custom Fee Per Product Platform operators can configure the fee at the platform level. The fee applies uniformly to all products unless the operator configures per-product overrides. Vendors cannot set or negotiate the platform fee themselves — it is controlled by the admin. ## Buyer Fees Buyers do not pay any additional platform fees. The price shown on the product page is the exact amount they pay. Gas fees for the on-chain transaction are separate and paid by the buyer to the network (not to Blocksmiths). ## No Hidden Fees There are no listing fees, monthly vendor fees, or subscription costs to sell on Blocksmiths. The platform only earns when you earn. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
