FAQs

Question 1

What is the split on proceeds between NFT.NYC and Artists whose work is minted as part of “The NFT.NYC 2022 Diversity of NFTs Art Collection”?

Primary Sales:

Artists will receive 75% of proceeds from primary sales of their own original Artworks.

NFT.NYC will receive the remaining 25%.
