We’ve been living in a passive income paradise. The NFT world has grown accustomed to creator royalties, enforced by the major marketplaces, and ensuring that income is earned on each and every secondary transaction. I know it's tough, but it’s time to wake up to the fact that there is absolutely no way to enforce royalties on the secondary market.

Blockchain technology has made it possible for thousands of different fungible tokens (FTs) to be deployed by a diverse range of projects across industries. These tokens' concept, use, and value vary drastically from project to project. The full spectrum can be explored, from native tokens like Ethereum (used for payment, fees, and transaction verifications on the network), to meme tokens like Dogecoin that carry abstract cultural relevance. When examining this range of tokens, utility b...

Transaction fees aren’t seen as attractive or inspiring… but that’s all about to change. Every NFT marketplace collects fees for platform revenue, gas, and creator royalties. Most view this functionality as a bland necessity to help keep the platform running. As we move into the future of Web3, and the NFT space continues to transform, platform fees will become a much more active and nuanced feature for businesses to use creatively. NFT marketplaces are not static, but lively ecosystems with ...
