it is WILD to me that we only have allowlists for minting and NOT for secondary sales.

that’s not how the trading of art, luxury goods, family heirlooms, homes, even surfboards works.

most secondary marketplaces IRL have a curation layer to filter buyers.

this is why NFT marketplaces lose volume to private txns :)

This can be done at the token contract layer. I don’t think it makes sense at the marketplace layer because if I’m an owner and want to get around that to sell my token I’d just use a different marketplace

right, my point is that it’s up to the token creator to define the rules of this friction, not the secondary marketplace. any transfer restrictions done in the secondary marketplace contract can be avoided so it needs to be in the token contract if you want the rules to be enforced

and this is why most NFT communities have zero soul and have flopped or died out over the past 2.5 or 3 years.

the friction layer is a feature, not a bug.
