# Creator rewards

Creator rewards on Highlight enable artists and creators to earn a portion of the mint fee paid by their collectors. 

This split is only available for collections listed as free. Please note that creator rewards do not apply to auctions.

The breakdown of the split is outlined below:

### ERC721 collections

For every free mint on an ERC721 contract, you’ll earn 50% of our marketplace fee.
