Yuga Labs Enforces Royalties on Consumers: Bans Trading on OpenSea

Summary

• Otherside’s Legends of the Mara $NFT collection has been prohibited from trading on most well-known $NFT platforms, including OpenSea, Blur, LooksRare, and SudoSwap V1, due to Yuga Labs' strict enforcement of royalties.
• Only platforms that support Royalties Enforcement, like X2Y2 and SudoSwap V2, have been recommended for Mara $NFT trading.

Bored Ape Yacht Club's Yuga Labs recently unveiled an open beta for its “Legends of the Mara (LotM)” game. This new gaming experience grants Otherdeed virtual land $NFT holders a new $NFT and a deeper dive into the Otherside metaverse. However, the Mara $NFT collection has been prohibited from trading on most platforms.

Yuga Labs on Royalty Enforcement

The ban on trading the Otherside Mara $NFT series collections stems from Yuga Labs' strict enforcement of royalties. Only platforms that support Royalties Enforcement, like X2Y2 and SudoSwap V2, have been recommended for Mara $NFT trading. OpenSea, Blur, LooksRare, and SudoSwap V1 have all been blacklisted for failing to meet these criteria.

Legends of the Mara, described by the firm as a "collection-based 2D strategy game," offers a unique gameplay experience. The game is set to unveil new insights into the mysterious Kodas, small bipedal creatures residing on 10% of the original 100,000 Otherdeed land plots—but are not tied to them forever.

As the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) continues to evolve, issues like this raise questions about the evolving landscape of $NFT marketplaces and the importance of protecting creators' royalties.
