Aetherium Forge: Dynamic NFT Royalties

Inspired by the sophisticated and ever-evolving systems depicted in 'The Matrix' and the societal dynamics explored in 'Nightfall', 'Aetherium Forge' aims to revolutionize NFT royalties. Drawing parallels to how prices in e-commerce fluctuate based on demand and supply, this project introduces a novel approach to NFT creator compensation. Instead of static royalty percentages, creators can set up dynamic royalty splits that adjust automatically based on predefined community engagement metrics or market signals. For instance, a percentage of royalties could be allocated to holders who actively participate in governance proposals, hold specific NFTs within a collection, or contribute to the project's ecosystem in other measurable ways. This encourages a more invested and active community, rewarding contributors and fostering a sense of shared ownership and growth. The platform would leverage smart contracts on a Web3 blockchain (like Polygon for its low transaction fees) to manage these dynamic splits. Creators would define their initial royalty structure and the conditions for its adjustment. The system would then automatically re-distribute royalties according to these rules. This is niche because it focuses on a specific, often overlooked, aspect of NFT economics that directly impacts creators and collectors. It's low-cost to implement as it primarily involves smart contract development and a simple front-end interface for creators to configure their royalty rules. The high earning potential lies in the ability to attract both established and emerging creators looking for innovative ways to engage their audience and monetize their work beyond initial sales, potentially capturing a significant market share of the growing NFT creator economy.
