@ -27,9 +27,9 @@ This standard allows contracts, such as NFTs that support [ERC-721](./eip-721.md
Without an agreed royalty payment standard, the NFT ecosystem will lack an effective means to collect royalties across all marketplaces and artists and other creators will not receive ongoing funding. This will hamper the growth and adoption of NFTs and demotivate NFT creators from minting new and innovative tokens.
Some common pain points addressed below are fixed with this EIP. Enabling all NFT marketplaces to unify on a single royalty payment information standard and benefiting the entire NFT ecosystem.
Enabling all NFT marketplaces to unify on a single royalty payment standard will benefit the entire NFT ecosystem. An example conversation that highlights a key pain point between artists and marketplaces today is likely to be:
>*"Yes we have royalties, but if your NFT is sold on another marketplace, we cannot provide royalties" ... "But can't I sell my NFT anywhere with a click of my wallet?" ... "Yes... but we don't have a standard for royalties so you'll lose out."*
>*"Artist: Do you support royalty payments on your platform?" ... "Marketplace: Yes we have royalty payments, but if your NFT is sold on another marketplace then we cannot enforce this payment." ... "Artist: What about other marketplaces that support royalties, don't you share my royalty information to make this work?" ... "Marketplace: No, we do not share royalty information. That is not the correct approach for many reasons. The problem is with the absence of a royalty standard; meaning other marketplaces are unlikely to adhere to your original and bespoke royalty agreements. This means you'll lose out. We think that you shouldn't be tied to a specific marketplace to receive royalties that you're entitled to."*
While this standard focuses on NFTs and compatibility with the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards, EIP-2981 does not require compatibility with ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards. Any other contract could integrate with EIP-2981 to return royalty payment information. ERC-2981 is therefore a universal royalty standard for many asset types.
