Friday, November 4, 2022

LONDON, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ImmutableX, the leading Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum today announces plans to extend its enforceable royalties model across the web3 ecosystem, starting with Ethereum.

  • Immutable has already implemented enforceable royalties via its application-specific Layer-2 solution, ImmutableX.
  • Immutable is planning to extend this functionality to Ethereum through a community-governed whitelist and blacklist for smart contracts that honour royalty fees.
