X2Y2 implements flexible royalty options

Hi frenz,

The past few weeks, the discussion has been popping up about the NFT creator royalties since some platforms are implementing the functionality to bypass creator royalties.

This makes it easier for collectors to make personal gains. However, it means the projects have less money to develop their roadmap and push the WEB3 space forward.

Personally, I don't even understand why this is even a discussion.

As always, I've listed this week's most important news below; read on!

Snoop Dogg and Eminem are scheduled to put on a “one-of-a-kind” Bored Ape Yacht Club-inspired performance of their single “From the D 2 the LBC” on MTV this Sunday.

The performance, which the press release called “one-of-a-kind,” is being developed in partnership with Yuga Labs. The stage is expected to be transformed to reflect the design studio’s Metaverse aesthetic and NFTs. According to the announcement, this will mark the first time an award show hosts a Metaverse-inspired performance.

Buyers on X2Y2 can now choose the amount of royalties they would like to contribute to projects. Dominant aggregators intend to provide similar functionality in the imminent future. As such, X2Y2 would like to make sure we are ready & staying on top of market movements.

NFT marketplace X2Y2 has moved to retain its customers by introducing an option that allows buyers set the royalty fee they wish to contribute to an NFT project.

With the new update by X2Y2, buyers on the platform are at liberty to set the amount they would like to contribute to an NFT project. The default amount is however set based on the creator's request but can be readily adjusted by the buyer.
