NFT royalties were never enforced onchain, even though everyone expected them to be. Onchain royalties on secondary sales have always been an important value proposition of NFTs, but they’ve been misunderstood for a while now. In a way, NFT royalties reached product-market fit before there ever was a “product.” Creators now have a few different solutions to choose from, but each come with tradeoffs that can be difficult to navigate. So how do NFT royalties work, and why have they been so challenging to implement? Here are some thoughts from @skominers, @darenmatsuoka, and myself on current designs, along with a few new ideas. Full post 👉 https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/how-nft-royalties-work/

Who gets to decide what, for whom? Governance is one of the trickiest challenges people have faced, from ancient city-states to AI startups. Experts Noah Feldman, constitutional law professor at Harvard who architected the Meta oversight board and has written multiple books, and Andrew Hall, professor of political science at Stanford and consultant to a16z crypto research, join a16z crypto editor Robert Hackett (@hackr) for a hallway-style conversation touring the field’s big ideas, lessons learned in practice, and the most exciting experiments happening today. They discuss everything from the history of democracy, to the dynamics (and dysfunctions) of corporate and university boards, to the hopes for blockchain-based DAOs, as well as examples of governance from big companies like Meta to startups like Anthropic, and much more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddpxSc8ZBwg

I quite like a New Zealand style pale ale. They’re hazy, less bitter than an IPA, more sessionable (5-6% ABV) and generally better balanced. I’m seeing more breweries experiment with them lately. I’m particularly into this one from Upward Brewery from the Catskills.

In the next two weeks, the House of Representatives will vote on the most important piece of crypto legislation to date: FIT21. We’ve long called for regulatory clarity that protects consumers and innovation and the FIT21 Act will do just that.

Learned a lot from @jessepollak and how he thinks about building @coinbase's @base on the latest @a16zcrypto pod. We talked about... - bottom-up vs. top-down leadership - scaling Ethereum - rollups vs. bridges - winning product vs. winning market - futarchy - hyphens (and a lot else) with @ncitron.eth
