Solana May Get NFT Royalties Enforceable Through New Metaplex Standard
Creator royalties have dropped substantially in the Solana NFT sector recently, as top marketplace Magic Eden made paying them optional last week after rivals that shied away from royalties snatched away market share. Now Metaplex, the maker of Solana’s NFT standard, says it is developing a new standard that could enforce royalty payments across the board. While artists and creators can set royalty rates through project smart contracts.
The firm said that the existing Metaplex standard is used by more than 99% of all Solana NFTs created so far. Metaplex said it can create enforceable royalties by expanding its token metadata program, which is how NFT makers add the data and information that makes an NFT—or blockchain token representing ownership in an item—unique from one another.

🖼 Digital Toy Company Cryptoys Integrating Kid-Friendly AI Chatbot Into NFTs
OnChain Studios, the Web3 collective behind non-fungible token (NFT) company Cryptoys is planning to integrate a kid-friendly artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot into its character-based digital collectibles. The AI software, called ChatGuardian, features a chat filter that parents can customize to ensure that their kids have safe, appropriate conversations with their NFT characters.

The Department of Justice has charged a Moroccan man with "theft of cryptocurrency and NFTs through spoofing" after stealing around $450,000 worth of NFTs and crypto.
In September 2021, The defendant, Soufiane Oulahyane, allegedly created a counterfeit version of OpenSea to unlawfully gain control of the digital assets, according to a DOJ statement. This technique, known as "spoofing," tricked the unsuspecting victim into thinking they were interfacing with the real OpenSea marketplace.
Oulahyane supposedly duped a Manhattan-based NFT holder into registering on the phony OpenSea platform. The unsuspecting victim then unknowingly handed over the seed phrase for his digital wallet, allowing the scammer to transfer his crypto and NFTs, including a Bored Ape valued at $92,000 at the time.
Oulahyane is being charged with several counts of wire fraud, unauthorized use of access devices, and aggravated identity theft.

🖼 Blockchain gaming platform creates refundable NFT program
Blockchain gaming startup Spielworks has partnered with the Web3 platform Mycelium Network to launch a program that allows full refunds for nonfungible token (NFT) purchases. In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the team explained that within the program, users who acquire NFTs called "reverties" are eligible to get a full USD Coin.

Within the minting transaction, the USDC will be transferred to a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending pool at the Aave protocol. The team said that the interest earned in the lending pool will be used to buy back Spielworks’ token in an attempt to help its community. A portion of the earnings will also be allocated to help the Wombat Protection Society of Australia. According to Adrian Krion, the co-founder and CEO of Spielworks, the NFTs will also have utility within their Dungeon Worlds game. They will be providing mining power and material drops to their players.

Hollywood actors have joined the Writers Guild of America in striking against the major studios. This inter-union solidarity recalls the last great Hollywood strike of 1960, when actors and writers together brought studio production to a standstill for nearly six months.
One of the main reasons for the strike revolves around generative AI. Just recently, the studios have submitted a proposal that include scanning background actors using AI and paying them for one day’s work. The studios would then be able to use their likeness forever with no payment or consent.

Other types of income, such as salaries and speaking fees, he is expected to disclose in exact amounts, the report noted. The presidential hopeful gave more details on the company that receives licensing fees for using Trump’s image on a collection of NFTs, CIC Digital LLC, in the latest disclosure. The latter owns a U.S. bank account with less than $1,000 but also an Ethereum wallet holding between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of crypto.

Launched in January 2023 as a follow-up to Checks, Opepen, which ultimately was released over a series of drops, became a staple in the rise of open editions.
After only a few days of back and forth, Butcher, the creator of the NFTs at the center of the conversation, blew the whole thing apart by creating a custom Opepen image for ThreadGuy.
As the custom Opepen craze was reaching a head, Butcher sent it over the edge on July 16 by launching an open edition collection called the Opepen Threadition, which featured a tokenized version of the custom PFP he made for ThreadGuy.
Priced at 0.001 ETH each, the mint had a generous aspect to it as well; all proceeds from the sale of Opepen Threaditions were to be allocated back to ThreadGuy.
At the time of writing, the open edition has amassed upwards of 34,000 mints, generating more than 34 ETH (around $65,000).

🖼 AI opens doors for NFT artist Ellie Pritts at Bitforms gallery in NYC
Artificial intelligence and analog technology collaborate across the imaginative animations of noted Los Angeles-based NFT artist Ellie Pritts. This month, Los Angeles-based nonfungible token (NFT) artist Ellie Pritts is celebrating “In the Screen I am Everything,” her first solo show in New York City — and her first time taking over pioneering net art gallery Bitforms. Eight animations from the technicolor exhibition are available to mint as NFTs on Ethereum, displayed on screens alongside a few physical prints. Pritts broke onto the NFT scene in 2021 when she tried minting a few existing video artworks — and watched them take off. Her video practice had been mostly therapeutic, but suddenly the blockchain boom made her work valuable enough to fund the acquisition of new tools, which Pritts used to make more sophisticated video artwork. She’d shot concert photography before the COVID-19 pandemic and performed as a professional cellist — until 2021 also forced her to confront medical issues she’d been avoiding, like her newfound inability to hold her bow. Pritts made a New Year’s resolution to begin painting portraits in early 2021 but couldn’t use a pencil to draw preliminary sketches.
