Any farcasters have thoughts on Apple announcing they’ll allow in app NFT purchases and take a 30% cut? Gabe Leydon’s free to own strategy (plus taking a percentage of every resale) continues to make a lot of sense

Highly unlikely that any marketplaces will create iOS apps with trading enabled but this does open up a lot of possibilities for gaming and social experiences. Resale economy will exist outside of apple’s control.

this isn’t really a new policy, apple has been enforcing this rule for years now in any case it’s still bad for adoption if you can’t exchange, buy, or sell nfts in app and need to go to an external marketplace

My hunch is this will be even more a push to go web first. Are we seeing soon a browser-first phone?

Honestly I think it’s great 1) clear green light to sell NFTs on iOS 2) accelerates existing trend towards free-first paradigm

I think tipping and monetisation for creators is unstoppable, including things like selling NFTs. Apple’s policy on 30% on tipping and NFTs is far too destructive to growth mechanisms for creators. But native experiences are too important…skeptical of PWAs

Sounds like Apple’s plan of killing itself is going according to plan. This leaves a huge opening for web3 startups. I’m biased though cause I’m making bets on feature phones.

A net positive for the space, but terrible UX for new NFT holders who will probably come to find out later that their NFTs are instantly worth 30% less in the open market

I have been thinking a lot of Gabe Leydon. His definition of Ownership is not as well defined as his notion of FREE. I wonder if the FREE part isn't the distraction while ownership really just mean holding an physical digital asset.

30% of €0 .. is 0! The sustainability is in the royaltees, right? Apple won´t be able to take 30% on those .. right?

This has been the case since I worked at Immutable (3/4 yrs ago) - Apple (privately) said we could sell game items as long as we implemented them as IAPs. We didn’t get to ship the app for other reasons. Unsure what this new news is - maybe they are making that policy public?

Better than an outright ban, but it feels like Apple is shooting itself in the foot by precluding an entire nascent ecosystem's business model from functioning on mobile.

Is anyone building an iOS SDK for these kinds of NFTs (and later marketplaces)? Could be signed by EOA app (eg Metamask), private key generated and stored in iCloud, or whatever Apple provides in the future
