Challenges
Best Use of Infura NFT API
Used it to quickly iterate when we were redeploying NFT contracts to testnet :)
Web3Modal Theming Challenge
Checkout around 4 min in the video :) we have a really nice them
Most Useful Web3 Tool
We created a very useful tool for artists :)
Best new subgraph(s)
Hopefully the subgraph for royalty events can be used as a base for a lot of artists in the future :)
Developer Infrastructure/tooling on Mantle
We deployed our contracts to multiple chains via a CREATE3 factory and we deployed a CREATE3 factory to base so all our deployments would be at the same address. See readme of github repo :)
Best Use of Existing Subgraph(s)
We used Lens' subgraph to figure out which collectors of an artist were following them :)
#BUIDLathon 2023 NFTs + Metaverse + Gaming Track
Hopefully a new EIP!
Polygon NFT Analytics Challenge
Created a creator focused dashboard to look at how their collector base is paying royalties
Integrate Lens
Integrated Lens so artists can create private gated posts for subsets of their collectors to engage with them :)
Build on Base 🔵
We deployed our contracts to multiple chains via a CREATE3 factory and we deployed a CREATE3 factory to base so all our deployments would be at the same address. See readme of github repo :)
Build on Pocket Network
Used it as our RPC :)
Project details
Whether or not marketplaces respect royalty payments is a hot topic in the current NFT market. The problem we see in this debate is not directly related to enforcement but rather that there is no easy way for a creator to see when and where royalties are respected. With this data, creators would be able to incentivize greater adherance to their defined social contract.
To confront this problem we propose an extension to EIP-2981 that includes a standardized royalty payment event and a payment hook on the token contract that emits this event. Using these two pieces a contract is able to more dynamically respond to the routing and side effects of these payments.
In addition to the interface implementation, we have also implemented a sample marketplace that responds to our interface and routes royalty payments through the hook. Using this exchange with a mock token we can emit an event every time a royalty is or is not respected and index this data off-chain using our custom subgraph.
Finally, with these pieces, we have created our web app Royalty Loyalty. This dashboard allows creators to easily see what addresses are or are not respecting loyalties. From here the creator can interact with these addresses through integration with Lens and possibly find ways further enforce their unique social contract around royalties.
