๐ What Is the Binance NFT Marketplace?
The Binance NFT Marketplace is a dedicated platform launched by Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, on June 24, 2021[reference:0][reference:1][reference:2]. It allows users to create (mint), buy, sell, bid on, collect, trade, and showcase digital blockchain collectibles represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs)[reference:3].
The marketplace leverages Binance's massive user base, deep liquidity, and blockchain infrastructure to provide a seamless experience for both creators and collectors[reference:5][reference:6][reference:7]. It supports NFTs on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum[reference:8], with additional support for Polygon[reference:9], enabling fast transactions and low fees[reference:10].
Unlike standalone NFT platforms, Binance NFT is deeply integrated with the broader Binance ecosystem, allowing users to manage both their cryptocurrency and NFT portfolios through a single NFT Wallet[reference:11].
Binance NFT stands out for its low minting fees, strong liquidity, and seamless integration with other Binance products. It also offers verified drops, gaming NFTs, and exclusive collections from global creators[reference:12].
๐ Supported Networks
The Binance NFT Marketplace supports multiple blockchain networks, giving users flexibility in creating and trading NFTs:
| Network | Description | Gas Fees |
|---|---|---|
| BNB Smart Chain (BSC) | Binance's native blockchain with low fees and fast transaction speeds. The primary network for Binance NFT. | Low |
| Ethereum (ETH) | The most widely used network for NFTs, supporting high-value collectibles and major projects. | Variable ($5โ$80+) |
| Polygon (MATIC) | Layer-2 scaling solution offering low-cost transactions; supported for buying, depositing, withdrawing, and listing NFTs[reference:13]. | Very Low |
When creating an NFT, you must select the network (BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum) that matches your collection's network. For lower fees, BNB Smart Chain is generally preferred.
๐ฐ Fee Structure
Binance NFT is known for offering "some of the lowest transaction fees in the industry"[reference:15]. Below is a breakdown of all applicable fees:
- Platform Service Fee: When you sell an NFT on Binance NFT, a flat 1% platform service fee is charged on the sale price. This applies to NFTs minted on Binance as well as third-party-platform NFTs deposited and listed for sale[reference:17].
- Listing Fee: There are no fees for listing NFTs on the marketplace.
- Every time an NFT is sold, a royalty fee (0% to 10%) is paid to the original creator.
- The royalty fee is set by the creator during the NFT creation process and can be viewed on each NFT detail page.
- Creators can charge royalty fees up to 10% on secondary sales[reference:22].
- For NFTs from other platforms (Ethereum-based), a gas fee is incurred.
- Gas prices fluctuate depending on network traffic and are indicated on the payment confirmation page.
- Depositing an NFT to Binance NFT Marketplace also incurs a gas fee (paid to miners, not Binance).
- Creating (minting) an NFT on Binance incurs a minting fee of up to 0.005 BNB[reference:26].
- Ensure you have BNB in your spot wallet before minting.
Holding BNB tokens unlocks reduced trading fees on the platform[reference:29]. Using BNB for transactions can lower your overall costs.
- For the initial sale of an Unverified NFT (the first time a newly minted Unverified NFT is sold by the creator to a buyer), creators are restricted from withdrawing the transaction proceeds for ten days.
- After the 10-day clearing period, and provided the sold asset does not indicate a potential violation of Binance's rules, the creator will be able to use or withdraw the proceeds.
