The Great Solana Royalty Debate

    overview

    Solana is a cryptocurrency that was designed to work similarly to and improve upon Ethereum. Named after a small Southern Californian coastal city, Solana is the brainchild of software developer Anatoly Yakovenko.

    Yakovenko first proposed the innovative blockchain in 2017, and Solana launched in March 2020. It’s quickly become a popular crypto, ranking among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

    In recent news, the Solana ecosystem experienced a hack on Aug. 2. Blockchain investigators and crypto investors allege there was a private key compromise that allowed hackers to steal Solana tokens, known as SOL, from Slope, Phantom and TrustWallet. Users reported that their funds were drained from these “internet-connected” wallets.

    Solana Status, which is run by the Solana Foundation, tweeted about the incident: “After an investigation by developers, ecosystem teams, and security auditors, it appears affected addresses were at one point created, imported, or used in Slope mobile wallet applications. This exploit was isolated to one wallet on Solana, and hardware wallets used by Slope remain secure. While the details of exactly how this occurred are still under investigation, but private key information was inadvertently transmitted to an application monitoring service.”

    Estimates of the damage vary, with reports of more than $6 million in digital assets being stolen.

    What Are NFT Royalties?

    NFT royalties are payments that compensate original NFT creators for the use of their non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In business, royalties generally pay the creator a percentage of sales or profits. With NFTs, royalties are usually set by the owner during the minting process.

    Royalties from NFTs give the original owner a percentage of the sale price each time the NFT creation is sold on a marketplace. The average NFT royalty typically ranges from 5-10%. In most NFT marketplaces, the creator can choose their royalty percentage and the payments are automatic upon each subsequent sale in the secondary market.

    Methodology

    The things we deal with in this dashboard The most controversial issue regarding Solana over the past month has been NFT royalties. After platforms like Yawww and Solanart moved to 0% producer royalties, and eventually Magic Eden followed suit, the market was in turmoil.

    Is this true or a misrepresentation of the success of NFT projects? What projects have relied on NFT royalties more than others? In which portfolios were wallets more likely to use 0% royalty? Higher royalty percentage? Higher floor volumes? Is the current royalty a sign of the health and sustainability of the project? How much of a 0% royalty sale can be accounted for by a wash transaction rather than genuine user interest? Was this real user demand or were decisions made based on inflated data? Compare Solana's 0% increase in royalty market behavior to Ethereum. Are users paying less royalties to Solana?

    In this dashboard, from the solana.core.fact_nft_mints table with the MINT_CURRENCY filter LIKE 'So111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' From the table solana.core.fact_nft_sales and ethereum.core.ez_nft_sales, it is divided according to the May marketplace as follows 0% Marketplace >>> ('yawww', 'solanart', 'hadeswap', 'solport', 'coral cube')
