Given the coins debate, here’s a mechanism that I think could make sense for higher effort artworks:
1- Mint artwork as a token with a bonding curve attached to it. Anyone can buy from it.
2- Allow users to “lock” their tokens in exchange for the NFT.
3- NFT represents the artwork as well as your position (how early you were and how much you bought).
4- Distribute trading fees to creator and lockers
This way you encourage long-term holding and community building. Price is more predictable.
Bonus point: locked eth earns yield such that game is non zero-sum anymore.
Would love to get good feedback on this!
Thoughts?
