That figure is $2.0M of yearly secondary volume at the standard 2.5% creator royalty — nothing more exotic than that. A collector coin outlives its first sale by decades, and until now the house that made it was paid on exactly one of those decades' transactions: the first. Bifrost changes the arithmetic of the entire business.

Creator royalty, every year$50,000/yrforever — paid per sale, on-chain, as each trade settles
No invoicing, no chasing, no auditing a partner's ledger. The royalty is not a line in a contract you must enforce — it is a step in the settlement that cannot be skipped. If a coin of yours trades at 04:00 on a Sunday, your royalty arrives at 04:00 on a Sunday. Model your own collections on the royalty calculator.
The contrast
Sell → silence, or sell → relationship
The old world
You sell the coin. The margin on that one invoice is all you will ever see from it.
The coin resells at three times your issue price — you find out years later, from a forum post.
No idea who owns your work now, or where the demand for the next series actually is.
Every secondary sale strengthens someone else's business. Yours gets silence.
On Bifrost
You sell the coin once — and your royalty is written into its certificate.
Every resale, forever, pays you within the settlement itself. Per sale, on-chain, without an invoice.
You see your collections' floor, volume and holders in real time — signal for the next mintage.
Every secondary sale deepens your price history, your data and your collector relationships.
Illustrative vignettes
“Illustrative — not a testimonial
We have struck coins for fifty years and never once been paid twice for the same one. The royalty ledger changed what a mintage is worth to the house.

Our collectors are in eleven countries. Before, we saw none of the resales. Now every one of them arrives in the ledger — with the royalty attached.
