# NFT Royalties

NFT royalties will be a core driver for the DAO treasury in addition to being a passive income across 2 different models as an incentive mechanism for holders and the community.

### What are the Royalties

During smart contract initiation, we decided to capitalize on a 10% NFT royalty fee however, this will progressively decline over 4 months for healthy trade volume.
