Solana (SOL)-based non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden has launched a new tool to secure royalty payments for a new series. The tool, called the "Open Creator Protocol" (OCP), is open source and free. The Open Creator Protocol is built on top of Solana's SLP token standard. Beginning December 2, this will allow royalties to be enforced on new collections that opt ​​into the standard.

If OCP users do not enforce royalties, they can prevent the marketplace from selling their work. Magic Eden will continue to offer optional royalty payments for collections that do not implement OCP. However, users cannot "retroactively apply" the OCP to an existing collection. So this means creators have to destroy and remint their legacy collections to implement OCP.

Additionally, the tool has a dynamic license fee feature. This reduces the value of the royalties for buyers who pay higher prices.

Jack Lu, co-founder, and CEO of Magic Eden said:

“We have been in active conversations with multiple ecosystem partners to identify solutions for creators in a timely manner. Our intention with Open Creator Protocol is to immediately support royalties for creators launching new collections while continuing to coordinate with ecosystem partners for more solutions.”
