  • Yuga Labs announces that it will block marketplaces that don’t support royalties ahead of Magic Eden’s ETH marketplace launch. On the other hand, Y00ts announced enforced royalties with Magic Eden starting tomorrow. 100% of royalties will be used to buy Y00ts and endorse Y00ts creators. Royalties are coming back with the bull market and I’m loving it. Protecting creators & projects via royalties is essential for the development of the entire space. (source)

  • Juice Finance, a cross-margin defi platform on Blast, announces that they will be allocating Juice points upon Blast mainnet launch to both Wassies and Pudgy Penguins holders.

I advise you to not fade all the opportunities that are about to come with Blast L2. (source)
