Sell your IPv4 address space
IPv4 is a finite resource and the free pool is gone. Every organisation needs a plan to use what it holds efficiently, identify what is genuinely spare, and decide what to do with the remainder — before the value of that remainder changes.
How do I sell unused IPv4 addresses?
You establish what is genuinely spare, choose a structure, agree terms, and file the transfer with your registry. Accuro handles all four: a free utilization assessment identifies the spare space, a consultant recommends one of five structures, the offering memo and purchase agreement are drafted for you, and our regulatory team files the transfer. If you want cash rather than a listing period, Accuro will buy the block into its own inventory instead.

Five ways to monetize what you hold
Every seller has different requirements, and the right answer depends far more on your constraint than on the block itself. These are the structures we close in.
You control the process from start to finish
Working with your consultant, you tailor the deal to your organisation and identify the kind of user you want for your space — which means you decide what uses will and will not be permitted once the block is sold or leased. Once you approve the final offering memo, your space is marketed to the buying network we have spent since 2011 building.
Everything from the offering memo to the purchase agreement is drafted for you. Where the deal calls for it, we continue to monitor the space for the life of the transaction, confirming that it is used consistently with the purchase agreement and that all parties behave accordingly.
Not sure you have anything spare?
Most organisations underestimate what they hold and overestimate what they use. Our IP optimization consultants run a free assessment that covers:
- Utilization. How much of your allocated space is actually in use, and where it sits internally.
- Efficiency. Whether the space in use is being used well, or whether consolidation would free whole prefixes.
- Consolidation. A report on how to get more out of the allocations you keep.
- Growth. What your own needs look like over one, three and five years, so you do not sell space you will have to buy back.
You receive a report detailing your usage trends and identifying possible underused or unused blocks. Nothing is listed and nothing is committed until you decide it should be. Contact a consultant to start the assessment.
Selling into a specific registry
Transfer rules differ by registry, and the rules of the registry that issued your block govern the deal. Read the specifics for ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC.
