# Pricing

![](/files/-MbOIRySZ7LF03GEoonP)

The default staring price per METASHIP is 5,000 METAL.

METASHIP pricing is dynamic based on velocity of demand. The shorter/longer it takes for a [Restock](/metaships/generations/restocks.md) to sell out, the larger the % increase/decrease in price will be.

* **< 2.5 minutes** =
  * &#x20;+300-1,200%&#x20;
* **< 15 minutes** =
  * &#x20;+300%
* **< 1 hour** =
  * &#x20;+200%
* **> 1 hour, < 1 day** =
  * &#x20;+0%
* &#x20;**> 1 day** =
  * &#x20;-50%

When a METASHIP is purchased, where does that METAL go?

* 50% is BURNED
* 40% is redistributed via [**METASHIP REWARDS**](/metal-1/distribution-tokenomics.md#metaship-rewards)
* 10% is sent to the [**LOTTERY**](/metal-1/untitled.md)
