Limit Break CEO Gabriel Leydon announced the introduction of creator token contracts as a solution for enforceable on-chain royalties and programmable royalty contracts.
❗ Why It Matters
Projects can utilize the Creator Token Contract, ERC721-C, to control the transfer of NFTs between wallets, and it's designed to enforce royalties and ensure NFT creators are paid for their work.
ERC721-C eliminates workarounds and makes on-chain royalties enforceable through the use of transfer security policies that allow creators to decide how permissive token transfers are for their own collections, which will open the door to new forms of royalties that can reward both creators, communities, partners, and affiliates.
The Details
-
Limit Break is open-sourcing a new augmentation to the ERC721 standard, ERC721-C (C for Creator).
- Programmable royalties contract V1.1: On-chain royalty settings on a per NFT basis capable of programmable payments, splits, derivatives, and more. For example, the original minter of an NFT could theoretically receive 100% of the royalties from that individual NFT in perpetuity.
- Smart contract whitelisting options and capabilities: Developers have the option to control which smart contracts can interact with the NFT. This will allow developers to permanently block any exchange or smart contract so that there are no workarounds.
- Creator Token Contracts are compatible with various token types, including ERC721, ERC721-A, AdventureERC-721, and ERC1155.
- Limit Break open-sourced the Adventure ERC721 standard for community use, which offers hard and soft staking mechanics and parallel questing. Staking rules are implemented in one or more external adventure contracts for increased flexibility.
- Gabe added the disclaimer that Limit Break hasn't determined how it plans to use ERC721-C for its own NFT collections yet.
🎤 Founder Feedback
9/ Please note that while Limit Break is excited about the potential of the Creator Token Contracts and how they can transform the NFT ecosystem, we have not yet determined how we plan to use ERC721-C contracts within our own NFT collection. ✌🏻

DigiDaigaku Bitcoin Ordinals are coming soon, according to @DigiDaigaku's tweet yesterday.
The Details
- Snapshot to be taken on Monday, May 1st, of the Ethereum blockchain on block 17164466
- If you have a DigiDaigaku Genesis at that time, you will be eligible for a free Chibi BTC version of your Digi.
❗ Why It Matters
DigiDaigaku's Chibi Genesis collection will be Limit Break's first foray into the world of Bitcoin Ordinals, and other projects will consider following a similar blueprint if this new collection on Bitcoin turns out to be a success.
The Genesis collection isn't cheap and holds a 3.77 ETH floor price at the time of writing, but it's a nice development for Genesis holders that they can receive a Chibi Bitcoin Ordinal for free.
🎬 Take Action
- If you hold a DigiDaigaku Genesis, the ETH snapshot will occur at approximately 3:00 a.m. ET on
- Make sure your Genesis is in a hot wallet, not a multi-sig wallet like Safe (previously known as Gnosis Safe).
- If it is in a smart contract wallet like Gnosis, the recommendation is to delegate to a hot wallet using delegate.cash. If you don’t, then ownership can't be verified, and you won’t receive your Ordinal.

🔜 What’s Next?
🕳️ Go Deeper
DigiDaigaku Dragon Eggs, a collection that was dropped by Limit Break during Super Bowl LVII, have begun transforming, the team announced via Twitter this afternoon.
🔎The Details
The Dragon Eggs become Baby Dragons, which come in one of eight types: Terra, Arctic, Lightning, Astro, Fire, Luna, Sea, Sky, Spirit and Forest. Upon revealing a Baby Dragon, the corresponding Dragon Egg NFT will be burned. On the news, the collection's floor price is up nearly 9% on Blur, currently 0.09 ETH at the time of writing.
⚡ Take Action
To reveal a Dragon Egg, holders can follow these steps:
- Head to https://digidaigaku.com/quests and connect your wallet.
- Click "Start Quest."
- Once your Dragon Eggs appear, click on them one-by-one to reveal individually, or more multiple into your cart for a bulk reveal. If you have more than one Egg, revealing in bulk is encouraged to reduce gas fees.
- Follow the MetaMask prompts and click "Reveal."
🎤 Founder Feedback
Your Baby Dragons have arrived! Go check yours out! They're so cute!!! Great job on the designs @illosbyhoon. Will you use your Dragon Essence to make a Giant Dragon? The choice arrives soon!Gabriel Leydon
DigiDaigaku completed one half of its Dragon Eggs airdrop, according to a tweet from the project.
The Deets
- DigiDragon Eggs is the NFT collection that was minted during DigiDaigaku's Super Bowl ad.
- The collection boasts 10,000 Dragon Eggs in ten different species.
- 2,500 Dragon Eggs remain.
❗Why It Matters
The DigiDragons Eggs collection was widely promoted as "an exclusive" and important NFT in the Digi ecosystem by founder Gabriel Leydon...yet, many felt the Super Bowl commercial in which the collection was born was a total flop. The floor price has decreased approximately 73 percent since the release and the project continues to farm engagement as a means for gaining allowlist registrations. Many regard the tactics as inauthentic, perhaps damaging the once lauded DigiDaigaku brand.
📊 By the Numbers
After jumping out to an early 0.39 ETH floor during the Super Bowl, the DigiDragon Eggs collection now holds a floor price of 0.069 ETH.
🎬 Take Action
There is still time to register for the final allowlist drop, which contains 2,500 Dragon Eggs, the final remnants of the colleciton.

DigiDaigaku Villains are now available for claiming and unmasking, according to tweets from the DigiDaigaku Twitter.
❗Why It Matters
DigiVillains are the next piece to drop in the rapidly expanding DigiDaigaku NFT ecosystem and provided another free entry point for members outside the existing DigiDaigaku holder base.

DigiDaigaku Genesis holders are eligible to claim one free masked Villain at this time, while those who registered for the allowlist via FreeNFT can check to see if they were granted allowlist access to claim one free Villain.
To claim or check status, users must head to digidaigaku.com/claims.
Once there, choose the respective Villain claiming depending on your eligibility and holdings.
If you've successfully claimed a Villain it will come masked and you'll need to complete a quest to successfully unmask it.
🔜 What’s Next?
Beyond the Villains, users still have time to register for the upcoming DigiDragons allowlist and exclusive Super Bowl mint. This will be the next piece to drop in the Digi ecosystem.
🧠 Learn More
DigiDaigaku founder Gabriel Leydon shared the DigiDragons allowlist raffle registration link and details in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon.
❗Why It Matters
While it's expected that the DigiDragons Super Bowl mint will be hotly contested, Leydon has provided an outlet for some existing NFT community members to earn an allowlist opportunity prior to the mint taking place. This would remove the need to hastily act during the Super Bowl, potentially compromising users to bad actors.
🎬 Take Action
Users hoping to register for the exclusive allowlist raffle can head to digidaigaku.com/dragons and complete the steps to register for the raffle.
Note: Please exercise extreme caution when engaging with links that require you to sign transactions from a web3 wallet.
The Deets
While not all is known about DigiDragons, the following are the most important details ahead of mint:
- Quantity: 10,000 DigiDaigaku Dragons.
- Price: Free mint.
- When: Minting live during the Super Bowl, with exception provided to guaranteed allowlist members.
