I just came across an AI Agent script that automatically sweeps orders. It treats royalty-free (zero royalty) NFTs as an arbitrage tool—runs the deal and then bails. Honestly, this kind of narrative is pretty lively, but there are security holes on-chain all over the place—who’s really paying attention to the details? Later, I found that secondary-market royalty disputes are actually pretty similar to this: creators claim they want a cut, buyers think it’s too expensive, and middlemen make a living off it. Put simply, the royalty mechanism is just a prop in front of automated trading, but everyone pretends not to see it. Anyway, the MEV routers I’m watching didn’t leave any royalty backdoor at all—they just route through the optimal path. That’s it for now; I’ll keep watching the chart.
