These days, there's been a lot of debate about whether mandatory royalties should be enforced in the secondary market. To be honest, I understand that creators want ongoing income, but don’t treat "royalties" as an all-purpose key for moral coercion. Hard coding royalties at the protocol level often leads to detours, forks, and gray markets, which end up frustrating the people who genuinely want to support. A more realistic view is: royalties are a cash flow design, not a security design—don’t confuse the two.



Having read too many audit reports, I always have one thought in mind: once permissions and incentives are on the chain, you have to assume someone will find loopholes. Especially now, after everyone’s been scared by cross-chain bridge hacks, or when oracles malfunction and the whole network has to "wait for confirmation"... In this environment, asking users to take an extra step or sign an additional transaction really makes trust costs high.

Anyway, my personal boundary is: I don’t need to be understood, but I will clearly explain the risks—if you want to support, go through official channels, don’t click randomly or authorize recklessly; if you don’t want to support, don’t get scolded—market rules are like that, just keep your wallet safe first.
