ivault’s publishing costs – paid in ivault tokens – are considerably lower than commission-based marketplaces.

**Traditional marketplaces charge up to 30% commission**

**In comparison, ivault publishing costs are static:**

**Advantages of ivault’s low cost pricing structure**

* **It’s fair**: more money goes back where it belongs –in the pockets of ivault users.&#x20;
* **It nurtures a diverse shareconomy**: more people will share a wider range of stuff because there’s nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
* **It builds critical mass**: a low barrier to entry sows the seeds for a mass user base.
