Creator Fees & MINTY Staking Tiers
Prices are set in USD and charged in WAX. Staking MINTY discounts every creator fee, up to free.
Every creator fee is priced in US dollars and converted to WAX at the oracle rate at the moment you pay. A $2 fee is $2 whether WAX is at $0.004 or $0.40 — the number of WAX changes, the value does not. A fee fixed in WAX would have become either meaningless or unpayable as the price moved.
Nothing is hardcoded. The fee schedule lives in a table on the admin contract and is changed by an admin action, without redeploying anything.
How it works
- 1
See your price before you commit
Every creator flow shows a fee panel with the exact price, your tier, the discount applied, and the WAX amount you will send. The amount is calculated by our backend against the same oracle the contract uses, so what you are quoted is what the contract accepts.

Stake MINTY to earn a discount
Discounts come from staking MINTY, not from paying in it. The longer the lock and the larger the stake, the higher the tier — from 25% at the entry tier up to 100% at the top, where creator fees are free.

Discounts apply automatically
Once you hold a tier, every creator fee across the Studio is discounted without you doing anything. The quote reflects it before you sign.
A small buffer is included
Quotes add a small margin over the oracle price to absorb movement between the moment you are quoted and the block your payment lands in. Anything above what is due stays as reclaimable credit rather than being kept.
Token tooling is a one-time payment
Deploying a token contract is signed by you on your own account, so no contract of ours sits in that path to charge per token. Instead the token tools are unlocked once per account, after which you can deploy and manage unlimited tokens.
