Royalty Report | Yuga Still King

Ghost Boy was the only non-Yuga NFT in the top five in royalties genearted in the last seven days, according to data from Definitive.io.

❗Why It Matters

Creator royalties are among the hottest topics in web3 in the last week, headlined by OpenSea's decision to temporarily reduce its platform fee and fundamentally change its stance on royalty protection. And while creator royalties have continued to trend downward, the top earning collections have still mustered hundreds of thousands in the last week alone.
