2023-03-13 21:00:39 GhostMarket integrates new Neo NFT royalty standard

GhostMarket has positioned itself as an early adopter of a new Neo Royalty Standard for NEP-11 tokens. This standard, aided in its development by GhostMarket, provides a set of common methods and events that can be easily implemented by NFTs that require royalties. While the standard is still in a draft status and has not yet been assigned a formal NEP number. Standardizing this functionality ensures that all dApps that interact with NFTs know how to correctly interpret the royalties associated with them. Likewise, NFT contract implementers will only need to put the standard methods into place to ensure royalty is interoperable across marketplaces and other projects which also follow the standard. The standard aligns with the work done with the ERC-2981, used on Ethereum and other EVM-based networks. However, following GhostMarket’s advice, Neo’s implementation was extended with support for multiple royalty recipients. Открыть/Комментировать

2023-03-04 14:00:41 Metaverse already needs competition scrutiny, says EU antitrust chief

The Metaverse could be next in EU competition regulators' crosshairs, said antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager on Thursday — with concerns about Meta's dominance at the top of the docket. It's already time for us to start asking what healthy competition would look like in the metaverse.

Vestager noted that there is already a political debate about the attention paid to digital markets, with all jurisdictions moving forward at different speeds. "We will not get the same legal framework," she said, adding: "And maybe that is not a bad thing. Because that will allow us to hone our toolkits in the process of mutual learning.". Meta, formerly Facebook, has made an audacious play to grab market share in this emerging tech area, putting billions on the line to develop hardware and software. Открыть/Комментировать
