01
3-day due diligence
The buyer has a maximum of three days for final due diligence once the block is in their account. Then the transaction is complete and escrow pays out. Nobody waits for weeks.
02
Speed
Buyers and sellers are often in different time zones, each talking to several parties. When the price and terms are agreed we open escrow the same day, so the deal does not go cold.
03
Information
First transfer? We will walk you through the whole process on the phone before you commit to anything. Email us your details and we call you.
04
Legal
No fee until a deal closes. Depending on the mandate we agree an NDA, and sometimes exclusivity, before we go to market; the sale contracts themselves are drawn up once both parties agree a price and want to proceed, scaled to the size of the transaction.
05
Efficiency
Emailing every holder you can find and negotiating with each one is slow and rarely gets the best price. We already know who is buying and who is selling. All you need to be certain about is your own price.
06
Budget
Prices vary a lot with block size, RIR region, legacy or PA, clean or blacklisted, previously announced or never used, country and geolocation tags. We make sure you get exactly the block you need at a price that reflects all of that.
Block size decides the price per address.
Protecting buyers and sellers Since 2014.
Note that block size is the most important factor determining price at the moment, where smaller blocks generally cost more per IP than larger block sizes. This varies over time: through 2021 and 2022 large contiguous ranges carried the premium; since prices came down from that peak in 2023, the fixed costs of a transfer weigh more heavily on small blocks and fewer buyers can absorb a /16 in one go. The seller is always responsible for selling clean blocks. IPv4XI will do its best to perform due diligence on offered blocks, but a buyer is ultimately responsible for its own final due diligence. The current ranges are on our prices page; what your block is worth is a phone call.

Smaller blocks cost more per address today; large ranges trade at a discount per address. See our prices page for current ranges.

The match
When buyer and seller agree, both receive the terms in writing and we open a three-party escrow with all specifics of the transaction entered.
IPv4 transfers involve money, registry rules, technical checks and two parties who may have never dealt with each other before. A specialist broker keeps those parts moving.
Broking IPv4 transfers since 2014, IPv4XI works with buyers and sellers, establishes the terms, arranges escrow and manages the transfer through completion.
Three-day final due diligence
The buyer has a maximum of three days for final due diligence once the block is in their account. If everything is in order, the transaction completes and escrow pays out.
Keep the deal moving
IPv4 buyers and sellers are often in different countries and time zones. Once price and terms are agreed, we open escrow the same day where possible, while both sides are ready to proceed.
Know what you are buying
A first IPv4 transfer can involve unfamiliar terminology, registry procedures and documentation. We explain the process before you commit, from the initial match through escrow and the registry transfer.
Clear terms and contracts
There is no brokerage fee until a deal closes. Depending on the mandate, we may agree an NDA and, in some cases, exclusivity before taking a block to market. Once buyer and seller agree on price and want to proceed, the documents are prepared for the specific deal.
Access to the market
Some sellers are not publicly advertising. Some buyers have specific requirements that make a generic listing unsuitable. We already work with organisations on both sides of the market and can introduce suitable counterparties.
Price depends on the details
Two blocks of the same size can have different values. We consider block size, RIR, legacy status, previous announcements, reputation, blacklisting, country, geolocation, transfer requirements and current demand. Our current IPv4 prices page provides a market reference; the value of a specific block requires a closer look.
What happens when buyer and seller agree?
Both parties receive the agreed terms in writing. We open a three-party escrow, prepare the documentation required for the relevant registry and manage the transfer. Once the block is in the buyer’s account, the buyer completes final due diligence within the agreed period. Escrow then pays out.
