@atomic ether from my experience there was contract royalties and platform royalties
so Opensea would charge 2.5% regardless, and then the contract could go up to 10%
atomic ether
so Opensea would charge 2.5% regardless, and then the contract could go up to 1...
The thing is the platform is fulfilling the request for royalties in both situations as far as I know. The blockchain code cannot enforce token transfer stipulations, so the documentation of the NFT is only requesting the royalty. The issue there is that in economic downturn or market instability, there’s then going to be the possibility of those royalties being not respected or made optional (which is happening)
proud tulip
what network is it
atomic ether
Primarily talking about Ethereum here, there are probably other blockchains that are more favorable to artists
hoary charm
i havent done any solidity/vyper but cant you just override the payment functions that trigger on the contract
atomic ether
But I am not entirely sure, always open to learning more about the tech itself, my criticisms are more directed at the market dynamics
hoary charm
like thats basically how dust attacks work since it blocks you from being able to trade the stuff you get airdropped
and they bait you into paying to "unlock" the tokens
atomic ether
My main pondering is are there blockchains where the royalty can actually be enforced technologically within the blockchain code itself, so it’s not just a thing in the smart contract that may or may not be fulfilled?
hoary charm
afaik there's no such thing as blockchain code in the sense that you thinking of
programmatically running code on chain is done via smart contracts
generally you can't just bypass smart contract functions either since any transaction is just executing functions on any given contract, and contracts have to implement certain interfaces to work
atomic ether
Well a token is still something that contains code, smart contract is simply one type of a token. I don’t think blockchain code is saying much different than “what is the code of the smart contract” here
Basically I was repeating myself there, I guess in another way if the token itself is only requesting the royalty and cannot enforce token transfer stipulations then how are we validating royalties are even paid out.
And to me if marketplaces are making royalty optional a thing that’s sorta… odd the technology’s design is allowing for that
hoary charm
it's not really odd, the whole point of smart contracts is that you can write any code that allows it to do anything
you could write a contract that creates a token that can only be owned/traded by a predetermined list of addresses
by making nft royalties optional, it gives project owners the ability to forgo royalties if they want, and vice versa
what gets paid and what allows transactions to go through is determined by whats written in the base contract
atomic ether
it's not really odd, the whole point of smart contracts is that you can write an...
But I’m not sure how “it can do anything” answers my initial question of why token transfer stipulations cannot be enforced which kinda contradicts that statement. I guess it is just the nature of being on a permissionless blockchain and so that seems to inform the design so “make what you want” becomes “make something that we can speculate on”
Hmm guess it’s more philosophical than technical but Imma do some of my own research on it as well

token transfers restrictions can be enforced
i don't know if you can read code or not, admittedly i don't know solidity but the gist of it is pretty simple
this is azuki's contract base https://github.com/chiru-labs/ERC721A/blob/main/contracts/ERC721A.sol
line 425/895/911 dictates whether or not a given token can be approved for transfer
there's also functions like transferFrom on line 531 that has stipulations on what consitututes a valid transfer

The rail worker thing was just normal union stuff though. From what I've read they had signed an agreement and then wanted to renegotiate again. You can disagree on whether they should or shouldn't be able to just ignore previously agreed on terms, but legally they only got themselves to blame there.

That's only partially true. Most German teachers are state officials, which comes with a LOT of perks and pretty decent pay etc. Downside is, you're not a worker, so no unions etc. It's the same for police for example.
