## Proposal Summary This proposal seeks to implement a **5% royalty fee** on all secondary market sales of **GM NFTs** on **World of V**. Based on historical data from the past year—where the GM NFT collection reached a trading volume of **293,000 VET** —a 5% royalty would have generated approximately **14,650 VET**. At current market rates, this equates to roughly **10,000 B3TR** that would have been captured by the Treasury. This initiative is designed as a strategic economic alignment: converting external marketplace volume into organic buy pressure for the B3TR token. * * * ## Proposal Changes · **Royalty Activation:** Implement a 5% royalty on GM NFT secondary sales. · **Open Market Buybacks:** Establish a workflow where royalties (VET/VTHO) are used to purchase B3TR from the open market. · **Treasury Accumulation:** Direct these purchased B3TR tokens to the DAO Treasury. * * * ## Motivation While the current treasury receives significant weekly emissions, those tokens are part of the inflationary supply. This proposal introduces a different, healthier dynamic: 1. **Market Pressure:** By converting royalties into B3TR via DEXs, we create constant, organic buying pressure on the B3TR token, regardless of the amount. 2. **Asset Productivity:** Currently, GM NFT secondary trading happens in an isolated loop. This change ensures that the NFT collection “works” for the DAO’s native token. 3. **Future-Proofing for Scalability:** Historical data (showing peaks of 70,000 VET/month) reflects the potential of this stream. With upcoming features like **Cosmic Climb** , trading volume is expected to grow. Establishing this 5% royalty now ensures the infrastructure is ready to capture significant value as the ecosystem matures. | Month | Trading Volume (vet) | | --- | --- | | 1 | 18385 | | 2 | 11000 | | 3 | 8081 | | 4 | 112 | | 5 | 221 | | 6 | 45433 | | 7 | 530 | | 8 | 21030 | | 9 | 15408 | | 10 | 200 | | 11 | 270 | | 12 | 69975 | | 13 | 41150 | | 14 | 30250 | | 15 | 30825 | 4. **Symbolic Alignment:** It reinforces the principle that all sub-ecosystems within VeBetterDAO should contribute to the circular economy of B3TR. * * * ## Detailed Specification · **The Loop:** Sale on World of V → 5% Royalty Collection → Automated/Batch Swap to B3TR → Deposit to Treasury. · **Transparency:** All buyback transactions will be on-chain, providing a transparent record of how the NFT market supports the token. * * * ## Requirements · **Collaboration:** Coordination with the World of V team to update collection metadata. · **Execution:** A simple smart contract to execute the market buybacks and transfers. * * * ## Implementation · **Step 1:** Update GM NFT contract settings on World of V to enable the 5% fee. · **Step 2:** Define a monthly or bi-weekly “Buyback/Deposit” event to consolidate funds and execute the market purchases. * * * ## Risk Analysis · **Quantitative Impact vs. Qualitative Value:** We acknowledge that **10,000 B3TR/year** (derived from the 5% royalty on the **293,000 VET** annual volume) is a small percentage compared to weekly emissions. However, the importance lies in the mechanism: it is a **net-positive buyback** from the open market rather than a distribution of existing supply. · **Market Competitiveness:** A 5% royalty is standard in the NFT industry and is generally accepted by the community when funds support the ecosystem’s longevity. * * * ## Conclusion This is about **economic discipline**. It turns the GM NFT secondary market into a proactive participant in the B3TR economy. By approving this, the DAO votes for a more interconnected financial structure, ensuring that as our NFT collections grow in popularity, so does the strength of the B3TR token. ---

I know is not a big thing this proposal, but, I thing is an easy one to implement and that every bit helps. What are your thoughts? ---

Love this idea! It is a positive feedback loop that will make the treasury stronger everytime there is a GM NFT sell. ---
