NFT Royalties Guide
Royalties allow NFT creators to earn a percentage of secondary sales. This is a key feature of the creator economy.
How do NFT Royalties work?
When you mint an NFT, you can specify a royalty percentage (e.g., 5%) in the smart contract. Every time that NFT is sold on a marketplace like OpenSea or Blur, 5% of the sale price is automatically sent to your wallet.
Marketplace Enforcement
Royalties are not automatically enforced by the token standard (ERC-721) itself on every transfer. They rely on marketplaces to respect the EIP-2981 royalty standard. Some marketplaces may make royalties optional to attract traders with lower fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. If you transfer an NFT directly wallet-to-wallet (OTC deal), no marketplace is involved to collect the fee. The transaction looks like a simple transfer on-chain, so no royalty logic is triggered.
EIP-2981 is the 'NFT Royalty Standard'. It provides a standardized way for marketplaces to query how much royalty should be paid and to whom. Before this, every marketplace had its own custom registry.
