How does it work?
If you’re a digital artist, photographer, or musician, turning your art into an NFT isn’t just about minting — it’s about creating a new stream of income. One that pays you every time your work is resold.
At minty.tools, we’ve built a simple, no-code minting platform that gives you 100% of the resale royalties — automatically, forever. Whether you’re minting a 1-of-1 or a collection of editions, your NFT will include built-in royalty logic that ensures you get paid on every secondary sale.
In this post, we’ll walk through:
- What NFT royalties are
- How they work on Ethereum
- How minty.tools handles royalties
- How to start earning recurring income from your creative work
🔁 What Are NFT Royalties?
NFT royalties are automated payouts that artists receive when their NFTs are resold. Just like musicians earn money when their song is played on the radio, NFT creators can earn a percentage every time their NFT changes hands.
Royalties are baked into the smart contract that governs your NFT. On minty.tools, that royalty is set to 5% by default — and 100% of it goes to you, the creator.
🔗 How Do NFT Royalties Work on Ethereum?
Ethereum supports a royalty standard called EIP-2981. This lets NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, Rarible, and others detect and respect the royalty rules written into a contract.
When someone resells your NFT, the marketplace automatically splits the payment and sends your 5% royalty to your wallet — no middleman, no chasing payments.
At minty.tools, we use this exact standard. That means your royalties are:
- Compatible with major marketplaces
- Immutable once deployed
- Directly linked to your wallet
💡 Why We Give You 100% of Royalties
Unlike many platforms that keep a cut, we don’t take a single percentage of your royalty stream. Our belief is simple: you created it, you should own the value it generates.
We make our revenue through a one-time $5 minting fee, dynamically priced in ETH. That’s it.
You get:
- 100% of your resale royalties
- A hosted minting flow
- IPFS pinning
- Instant delivery to your wallet
