ENGINEERED FOR SCALE
Core Capabilities of Our Substrate Royalty Pallets
Our modular royalty pallets are built for production, delivering the performance, security, and flexibility required by high-volume NFT marketplaces and creator platforms on Polkadot and Kusama.
01
Configurable Royalty Enforcement
Enforce creator royalties at the protocol level with configurable logic for primary sales, secondary market fees, and multi-recipient splits. We implement the industry-standard RMRK v2.1 specification for maximum compatibility.

TANGIBLE RESULTS
Business Outcomes for Your Creator Platform
Our Polkadot Substrate Royalty Pallet development delivers more than just code. We build the infrastructure that directly translates to your platform's growth, creator satisfaction, and long-term sustainability.
01
Automated & Enforceable Royalties
We implement a custom royalty pallet that automatically distributes secondary sale proceeds to creators. This eliminates manual payouts, reduces disputes, and ensures creators are fairly compensated, building trust and loyalty.

02
Multi-Asset & Cross-Chain Revenue
Configure royalties for NFTs, RMRK-equivalent assets, and fungible tokens. Our architecture supports future-proof cross-chain revenue streams via XCM, allowing creators to earn from assets traded across the Polkadot ecosystem.

Reduced Platform Liability & Fraud
On-chain, immutable royalty logic removes your platform as a financial intermediary. Smart contracts handle all calculations and distributions, significantly reducing your operational overhead and exposure to payment-related fraud or errors.

Architecture Comparison
Protocol-Level vs. Smart Contract Royalties
A technical breakdown of the core differences between implementing royalty logic at the blockchain protocol layer versus within smart contracts, highlighting the advantages of the Substrate pallet approach.
| Architectural Factor | Smart Contract Royalties | Substrate Protocol-Level Royalties |
|---|---|---|
Development & Audit Complexity | High (Custom logic per contract) | Low (Standardized, pre-audited pallet) |
Gas Efficiency & Cost | High (per-transaction logic execution) | Native (minimal runtime overhead) |
Enforcement Guarantee | Optional (relies on marketplace integration) | Mandatory (enforced at chain consensus) |
Upgrade & Maintenance | Risky, requires migration | Seamless via runtime upgrade |
Cross-Chain Compatibility | Limited (chain-specific deployment) | Native (via XCM for Polkadot parachains) |
Time to Production | 8-16 weeks (design, audit, deploy) | 2-4 weeks (configure and integrate) |
Security Surface | Broad (each contract is an attack vector) | Narrow (single, rigorously audited component) |
Royalty Bypass Risk | High (dependent on external enforcement) | Negligible (enforced at protocol level) |

Technical & Commercial Insights
Frequently Asked Questions on Substrate Royalty Pallets
Get clear, expert answers to the most common questions CTOs and founders have about implementing royalty mechanisms on Substrate.
A standard, production-ready royalty pallet with core features (configurable splits, payment logic, admin controls) typically deploys in 2-4 weeks for a fixed price of $15,000 - $35,000. Complex integrations (multi-asset support, on-chain governance, or custom dispute resolution) can extend to 6-8 weeks with custom pricing. We provide a detailed scope and fixed-price quote after a technical discovery call.
