Recently, there has been more discussion about royalties in the secondary market.
Honestly, everyone just wants "free trading," but creators also rely on this for their livelihood.
I used to be quite supportive of royalties, but now I’ve calmed down a bit:
No matter how strict the on-chain rules are, they can't stop platforms from changing rules with a click or bypassing transactions,
ultimately whoever has the loudest voice wins, and creators can only bet on the integrity of the ecosystem.
Not to mention security—just a few days ago, a cross-chain bridge was hacked,
and everyone's first reaction was "don't move yet, wait for confirmation."
This consensus is quite real:
when even price sources and transaction records can be delayed or interfered with abnormally,
royalties, which are settled afterward, become even more fragile.
If we truly want the creator economy to go far,
we probably need to solidify verifiable things first; otherwise, all the arguing is just empty talk...
As for how to balance trading experience and creator earnings, I’m still thinking about it.
