Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about royalties in the secondary market. Of course, creators hope for "automatic commissions," while traders complain about high costs and liquidity being restricted. Basically, everyone is calculating their own interests.
I've been working on airdrop lists for a long time, and I'm actually more afraid of these "rules that can be changed at will": if you rely on royalties to make a living today, and tomorrow the platform turns a switch off, your income drops to zero... It's a bit like handing your fate over to someone else's button.
By the way, I see everyone comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products. I'm also quite conflicted: if on-chain yields ultimately still rely on layers of intermediaries packaging the products, then it's the same as the royalty dispute—essentially, "who distributes and who executes."
Anyway, I now prefer to see clearly what the contract says and who’s responsible for execution before deciding whether to participate.
Let’s leave it at that for now.
