According to Baxus, buyers on their marketplace incur no additional fees beyond the listed price, with a flat 10% fee only being deducted upon the successful sale of an item. Consumers purchasing spirits through Baxus receive a non-fungible token (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/nft/" target="_blank" rel="">NFT</a>) minted on Solana, validating ownership. 
Upon redemption of the token for the physical bottle or barrel of whiskey, the corresponding NFT is invalidated, Baxus says, adding that the product is removed from the trading platform. The company assures that all assets are securely stored in its temperature and humidity-controlled vaults situated across the U.S.
