Creators who participated in selling Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) on the platform earned a total of $1.1 billion this year, with 80% of that sum going to people outside the top ten. The company aims to work closely with these participants and support them through providing investors with high-quality assets, according to OpenSea, a leading web3 marketplace.
These statistics symbolized a new beginning for NFTs creators. Even though market conditions were rough, the changes made this year allowed for great innovation. There was no sign of creator revenue before adopting the Non-Fungible Token standard in 2018. With OpenSea’s help, they can bring more creative minds into play.
According to Shiva Rajaraman, Vice President of Products for OpenSea, transactions between January 1 and November 23 included a creator fee.
Analysts at OpenSea who analyzed the data from other well-established platforms were astonished when they noticed that Facebook and Instagram artists would be compensated with over $1 billion from July 2021 to December 2022.
2022 has been a *wild* ride and we want to close it out with a stat that makes us *really* excited for the future:
