Definition and scope
XRPL NFT Royalties and Transfer Fees addresses a distinct part of non-fungible tokens. See how a mint-time transfer fee can allocate value to the issuer in eligible secondary sales.
XRPL NFTs are protocol-native ledger objects rather than smart-contract records. This collection follows an NFToken from its identifier and mint settings through custody, offers, transfers, brokered sales, royalties, storage pages, and destruction. An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.
How it works
An NFT issuer can encode a transfer fee in the NFTokenID at mint time. Eligible brokered or offer-based sales allocate that fraction according to protocol rules when the NFT is transferable.
- TransferFee: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- NFTokenID: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- issuer allocation: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- secondary sale: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
Practical example and checks
A marketplace decodes the transfer fee, previews seller proceeds and issuer allocation in the offer asset, and confirms actual balance changes from validated metadata.
For production use, preserve the exact signed or queried data, record the network and validated ledger reference, and compare the result with the current primary documentation before changing off-ledger state.

The transfer fee is a protocol allocation, not a legal royalty contract or guarantee of payment outside supported transactions. Private or off-ledger transfers may have different effects.
An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.
Current network status
Enabled on XRPL Mainnet. NonFungibleTokensV1_1 was enabled on XRPL Mainnet in feature responses from both official public servers at review time. Client and service support can still vary.
Status reviewed 2026-08-23. Amendment-dependent behavior must be rechecked against the network's live feature state before operational use.
