# Financial Flow

Artists are the main stakeholders on the ZeroAlpha platform.

### Initial Sale

The initial sale price is defined by the [Artist](/about/roles.md#artist) and it assures that it will be set at the rate the Artist sees best fit. 

| Artist                    | Platform                  |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| 50% of initial sale price | 50% of initial sale price |

### Re-Sale

The re-sale price is defined by the current [Collector](/about/roles.md#collector) and it determines the patronage to be paid. 

| Current Collector        | Artist                  | Platform                |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
