A few years ago, no parents were willing to force their child to study art because who knows how long it takes the person to make their way through to be recognized on such levels that they will make their living out of it. Recent advances in the crypto universe have paved the way for newcomers and veterans to make a living out of their crafts. The non-fungible token introduced by blockchain technology has boosted the confidence of the two sides of the coin, i.e., craftsmen and buyers/investors. NFT promises the fraudless, genuine monetization for their magnum opus and authentic, claimed ownership, and faithful to the artist sales foundation for investors.

Minting an NFT is carried out on an NFT marketplace backed by blockchain technology and on a dedicated platform known as the NFT Market platform. Making an NFT has to go through a series of steps known as Minting.

Minting involves the assigning of several attributes to your digital or physical asset like:

  • Name of Creator
  • Name of Owner
  • Price
  • Description
  • Platform Minted
  • No. of tokens to mint
  • Royalty cut
  • And many more.

There is an unwritten rule in the NFT universe that “ Unique the NFT, More will be its value.” Assigning all these properties to your NFT will definitely catch up with the eyes of the investors, but here we are going to talk about the Royalty clause in NFT.

Royalties are a great way to generate a revenue stream for the artists. Royalties are the percentage cut of the total value of NFT sold for. This percentage cut goes directly towards the crypto wallet of the original creator. Royalties are the major driving factors for the upcoming audience getting started to get familiarized with the crypto world. Due to the royalty clause in NFT, artists are monetizing their work.

NFT royalties are perpetual and are guaranteed by smart contracts, which work on the motto “Code is Law.’ Smart contracts are highly sophisticated and mendable but only before their execution on the chain. Smart contracts have both the attributes, Feasibility and immutability. After deployment, its immutability kicks in. During the development period, smart contracts can be made according to the project requirements but have to be approved by blockchain officials. It is impossible to trick the platform users into minting their NFTs with a falsely announced royalty cut or locking their NFT in the contract without providing them with their share.

The average market royalty percentage is around 5–10 percent. Reimbursement of the royalty revolves around the principles of blockchain, i.e., Intervention of any financial institution as an intermediary is negligible. NFT royalties act as a never-before-opportunities to maximize the incomes of artists and content creators.
