Really interesting interview with
@tadtweets today on
@TRUMediaGroup.
A few of my biggest takeaways:
- We’re getting true self-custody on
@solana with royalty enforcement.
Top of the line self custody that no other sports digital collectibles company can beat.
- 10% royalty (big question which would be consistent with other marketplaces is making sure that's 5% on both sides, because 10% on both sides would be too much imo). Maybe
@tadtweets @CandyDigital can confirm here.
In my view royalties are essential for many reasons and we also need to make sure they are competitive.
- In exchange for royalty enforcement assets become dramatically safer, more portable, and more valuable.
I honestly see
@MLB promoting digital when they realize the royalties they can make from secondary marketplace activity.
- Lots of potential of exciting things we can do with
@metaplex (dynamic collectibles, fractional ownership which I can't wait to set up...), but we aren't there yet.
That's putting the cart ahead of the horse.
- Major marketplace access matters a LOT (Magic Eden, OpenSea eventually, etc.). My biggest concern is how they organize it as it sounds like
@CandyDigital has input but not final control which is fair, but we want to make sure it's set up right!
- Feels like we’re finally moving toward the version of sports digital collectibles many of us hoped for years ago. 🚀🚀🚀
- And if these
@paninitracker sales keep climbing… things could get very interesting for high-end 1/1 digital sports collectibles 👀
- Sounds like we will get some
@MLB drops in June and they are still working out details with DC, but actively working on it.
- Also yes, I recorded this while bouncing between Argentina, Peru, Guatemala, volcano hikes, Costa Rica, and soon Mexico City for the
#worldcup2026 😂
Fun times.
