The Great Solana Royalty Debate
Nov 2, 2022 - The most controversial topic on Solana over the past month has been NFT royalties. After platforms like Yawww and Solanart moved to 0% creator royalties, and eventually Magic Eden followed, the market has been in a chaotic state. Magic Eden had cited that almost all funds for a project are coming from the mint, not royalties: https://twitter.com/MagicEden/status/1580367439824826368 Is this accurate, or a misrepresentation of how successful NFT projects have been operating? What projects have been more reliant on NFT royalties than others? What collections were wallets pivoting towards using 0% royalties more frequently? Higher royalty percentages? Higher floor volumes? Are flowing royalties a sign of project health and sustainability? How much volume from 0% royalty sales can be accounted for by wash trading rather than actual user interest? Was this actual user demand, or were decisions made based on inflated data?
