Royalties got the spotlight as Unvault and DIVIT joined the show to explain how they’re trying to make creator payments and long-term project funding work again, with contract migrations, enforcement, and incentives designed to pull liquidity back toward royalty-respecting paths. The conversation also hit why royalties fell apart in the first place, how marketplace behavior and farming warped the system, and why provenance and permanence still matter, including a quick Arweave and onchain art detour. Earlier on, the room set the mood with a choppy market check, liquidations, and macro uncertainty keeping risk appetite muted. It rounded out with quick NFT price action and mint chatter before the guest segment took over.
