There has been a wave of discussion regarding creator royalties in the NFT space lately. NFT creator royalties allow creators to receive a percentage of the sale price each time an NFT is sold. This creates an income stream for artists and creators utilizing the technology behind the digital assets. The tussle started when some exchanges removed royalties in exchange for other substitutes.
DeGods, the creator of yoots and toobs, was among the first exchanges to do so. Magic Eden, Solana’s marketplace, followed suit, stating that they would not force buyers to pay royalties.
On November 5th, OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, announced a new on-chain enforcement tool to help creators profit through secondary sales of their artwork. This is a response to encourage creators for their work. The on-chain enforcement will be applied to new NFT collections.
Wylie Arnow, the co-founder of BAYC, made comments via a Substack newsletter yesterday. He reiterated that the NFT ecosystem would not be where it is today if royalties were not in the system. He discussed with some NFT founders and concluded a solution.

Allowlist was proposed. It involves NFT trading between wallets that support royalties. It also allows a free-to-free transfer ensuring that the creators retain full ownership. These plans will be implemented using smart contract code. Allowlists are only for good actors to contribute to.
There’s a need for a governance body to make sure only good actors are present in the system. Wylie and his team are working towards finding the proper structure for the DAO.
Plans are in motion to make sure artists, musicians, and creators have a long-term income to rely on. NFTs are changing the narrative for 21st-century creatives.
