Yuga Labs – creators of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection – has unveiled its plans to cut ties with NFT marketplace OpenSea. This comes as a response to the platform\u2019s proposed shift to an optional royalty system.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, August 17, OpenSea <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> that it is changing its creator fees framework, making royalties optional for new collections after August 31, 2023. The NFT marketplace also disclosed that it would disable the Operator Filter, a feature that enforces creator royalties.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the announcement, NFT collections that utilized the Operator Filter up until August 31 will have their creator royalties enforced till February 29, 2024, when the fees will become optional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the blog post, OpenSea explained the rationale behind its decision, saying the Operator Filter was designed to empower creators with greater control. However, the marketplace claims that it has not received the much-needed acceptance in the web3 ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuga Labs Responds To OpenSea\u2019s Decision\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Friday, August 18, Yuga Labs <\/span>published an open letter on X<\/span><\/a> (formerly Twitter), subtly criticizing OpenSea\u2019s decision to make creator fees optional on all secondary sales for all collections by February 2024. The BAYC creator also disclosed its plans to wind down support for OpenSea\u2019s SeaPort, a marketplace protocol that enables the buying and selling of NFTs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Alegre, CEO of Yuga Lab, said in the response:<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuga Labs will begin the process of sunsetting support for OpenSea\u2019s SeaPort for all upgradable contracts and any new collections, with the aim of this being complete in February 2024 in tandem with OpenSea\u2019s approach.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alegre noted that while the purpose of NFTs has been to revolutionize true ownership of digital assets, it has also been about empowering artists and creators. \u201cYuga believes in protecting creator royalties so creators are properly compensated for their work,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuga Labs\u2019 stance will likely be a significant blow to OpenSea, but perhaps not one the marketplace wouldn’t have foreseen. In January, the BAYC creators blacklisted about four marketplaces – with an optional royalty model – from its Sewer Pass collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

OpenSea Halts Support For The BNB Smart Chain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

OpenSea also recently announced its decision to disable the minting and listing of NFTs on the BNB smart chain. According to the <\/span>post on X<\/span><\/a>, this move was informed by the marketplace’s \u201cneed to align resources with the most promising efforts\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The NFT platform wrote in the announcement:<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting today (August 18, 2023), you will no longer be able to create new listings for or make new offers on BSC NFTs. However, you will still be able to view, discover, and transfer BSC NFTs on our site.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This latest development brings OpenSea\u2019s total supported chains down to 10, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, and the recently-added Base and Zora.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. \u201cLooking\u201d is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations.

In essence, Opeyemi\u2019s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings. Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that \u201cwhatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.\u201d Hence, you will always find him striving to be better. Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/opeyemi-sule-027bb5227\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/fwOpeyemi\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/author\/oluwatosino\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"OpenSea Makes Shift To Optional Royalty Model -
