Opensea Withdraws Royalties Enforcement

OpenSea stopped enforcing creator royalties in February after coming clean about losing ground to Blur, an NFT marketplace that doesn’t support royalties enforcement.

It finally announced on August 17th that it would stop royalties enforcement completely to NFT marketplaces that have been blacklisted for not enforcing the same policy.This was due to the low levels of adoption.
