Selling, and where the money goes

01Listing a coin#

Any vaulted coin you own can be listed from its page or from your Collection: choose a price, confirm with a signature — the same fingerprint or face you sign in with — and it is live. Your piece appears alongside the design's other editions, its full provenance one tap away — which is why well-documented coins tend to find buyers quickly. You can change the price or withdraw the listing at any time before it sells, with no fee and no penalty. While it is listed, the coin remains entirely yours: certificate, story and all.

02What the buyer pays, and what you receive#

Sell for $1,000, receive $950 — fixed, public, automatic.

The buyer pays your listing price — exactly what they see. From that price, two deductions happen: the vault fee of 2.5% to Bifrost — for secure custody, insurance and the permanent record — and the series' creator royalty of 2.5%, set by the issuing house when the series was created and shown on every coin page. The rest is yours. Sell a coin for $1,000 and you receive $950: $25 as the vault fee, $25 to the house that struck the coin, $950 to you — a flat 95% to the seller on every resale.

03Why the royalty exists#

The royalty is the quiet engine of this market. Every time a coin resells, the house that created it receives its creator royalty — automatically, forever. That gives creators a lasting reason to care for a series long after the first sellout: to publish, to authenticate, to keep telling the story that sustains its value. Collectors know the alternative from elsewhere: makers who lose interest the day a run sells out. Here, your resale is part of what keeps the series alive.

04The split happens for you, in the open#

You never calculate, invoice or forward any of this. When the buyer signs and pays, Bifrost settles the trade as your agent — the same settlement from the first-purchase guide, now working for you as the seller: the buyer’s USDC comes in, Bifrost deducts the vault fee and the creator royalty, sends the rest straight to your wallet, and records every leg openly on Base. The split follows the terms published on the coin's contract, not a back office, so the numbers are fixed and public. Anyone can read the settlement afterwards and see exactly the same figures you see. That is the whole arrangement.

05The money arrives moments after it sells#

When a buyer completes their purchase, Bifrost pays your proceeds straight to your own wallet — USDC, yours to spend — within moments of the sale settling. There is no payout schedule, no “available in five to seven business days”, no minimum withdrawal, no invoice to raise. Bifrost handles the settlement and passes your proceeds on immediately; it does not sit on your money or hold it back. You can put it toward the next coin a minute later, or cash it out to your bank whenever you like — the cash-out guide shows the cheapest way. Many do both.

06After the sale#

The coin's page updates itself: a new owner joins the provenance, the sale price enters its history, and your name steps back into the record as a past custodian rather than the current one. Nothing about the coin's story is lost — provenance on Bifrost only ever grows. If the buyer keeps the coin vaulted, it never physically moves at all. And the certificate you sold carries its whole past, including you, permanently legible to everyone who comes after.
