Root domains can enable the minting of segments (subdomains), but these segments cannot mint additional sub-segments. You can mint segments from any root NFD which has segmenting unlocked.
Root domains have two segment minting states, locked & unlocked. This defines who is allowed to mint segments from the domain root. When locked, only the root owner can mint. When unlocked, anyone can mint at a price specified by the owner.
You can utilize the Segments filter on the marketplace to find unlocked roots, or segments for sale.
There are two fees associated with segments, a platform fee and a root owner fee.
The root owner fee is determined by the root owner. Root owners receive the proceeds from root owner fees for their domains.
If you are minting a segment from a domain you own you will only pay the platform fee.
