Recently, I saw everyone arguing about whether secondary market royalties should be mandatory or not... Honestly, creators want to have ongoing income, and traders want lower friction. Both are quite reasonable, but a one-size-fits-all approach seems to push away liquidity, which could make the market even quieter in the end.
I personally prefer to think of royalties as a "predictable rule-based cost." If the protocol keeps changing back and forth, it damages confidence more than slightly higher fees. By the way, I also noticed something quite subtle: now that RWA, U.S. Treasury yields, and on-chain yield products are being compared together, people are starting to view things through the lens of "stable cash flow." So, on the NFT side, shouldn't we also consider whether, besides earning from secondary sales commissions, there are slower, more sustainable ways for creators to survive... Anyway, I won't tinker for now; let's wait until the rules are clear.
