Sell, transfer, or step away
You hold a gecko. Also worth reading before you buy one.
What you will get out of this
- Where to list, and why the sell-side answer differs from the buy-side one
- What a sale actually costs you
- What happens to a staked gecko and its CRED
- What you keep and what you lose when you step away
Two people read this page: the holder who is leaving, and the buyer checking they could leave. A guide that only explains how to get in is a sales funnel, not a guide.
Where to list#
To buy, Tensor carries the depth. To list or sell, use Orbis first, then Artifacte.
Both sell-side venues are dated on the facts page. The sell-side answer differs from the buy-side one on purpose, and the reason is stated in full under the fee table below.
What a sale costs you#
What each venue takes
AS OF- Tensor
- A 2% taker fee, paid by the buyer on top of the ask. Nothing is taken from the seller when a listing sells; a seller who accepts a bid instead has both the fee and the royalty deducted from the bid.
- Orbis
- Nothing of its own on a listing it mirrors from another venue - you pay that venue's 2% and Orbis adds no second cut. On a listing made on Orbis itself, Orbis takes 2% out of the seller's proceeds.
- Artifacte
- 2% of its own on a listing it mirrors from another venue, charged to the buyer on top of the 2% that venue already charges - two cuts on the same sale, where Orbis adds none. On a listing made on Artifacte itself, Artifacte takes 2% out of the seller's proceeds.
- Magic Eden
- A 2% taker fee, paid by the buyer on top of the ask.
No marketplace pays us to send you anywhere: we have no referral, affiliate or revenue-share arrangement with any of them. Every venue listed above enforces the creator royalty, and royalties are a large part of what funds the project, so a sale anywhere on this list pays for the building. We point sellers at Orbis and Artifacte first because they are collector-centric marketplaces, built to work with creators rather than to reward churn, and that is the side of the market a long-lived collection belongs on.
The price you pay is the seller's ask, plus that gecko's own creator royalty, plus the venue's take. Royalties are set per mint, so the all-in price of two geckos listed at the same ask can differ.
Listing, delisting and repricing carry no venue fee anywhere. Every venue takes its cut out of a completed sale, so changing your mind costs only the Solana network fee, a fraction of a cent.
Royalties#
The baseline creator royalty is 7.5%, which is what most Galactic Geckos carry, as of 6 Aug 2026. Some are set higher. Because the rate is stored on each mint rather than collection-wide, the marketplace shows the enforced amount for the exact gecko you are buying on the listing screen.
If your gecko is staked#
A gecko on a journey is locked. It cannot be unstaked, transferred or listed until that journey finishes: the staking program refuses outright. So the order is finish the journey, unstake, then list.
Unstaking settles your CRED in the same transaction that releases the gecko, so nothing you have already earned is lost by leaving.
If the gecko is your Captain, it cannot be unstaked while your other geckos are still staked. Assign a new Captain first, or unstake it last.
Stepping away#
Your Discord holder role follows the wallet, so selling your last gecko ends it. Nothing announces the removal, so if member access quietly stops working, the role is the first thing to check.
Verifying again works exactly as it did the first time, but the welcome message does not fire twice.
