How much money did the teams that sold NFT avatars make?

Article: 0x13, Rhythm BlockBeats

For the crypto world, the summer of 2021 belongs to NFT.

As apes, cats, penguins and other animals with NFT images become popular, more and more DeFi users and even people outside the encryption world choose to enter the NFT field, and a large number of new users join the NFT sales have been climbing. According to Dune Analytics, the number of users on the largest NFT trading platform has soared from less than 40,000 at the start of 2021 to more than 210,000, with total transaction volume reaching $750 million and transaction fee revenue exceeding $50 million in less than half of August. As blind box NFT became hot, the aggregator platform OpenSea was the big winner.

One big difference between NFT collectibles and physical collectibles is that royalties are automatically paid when the NFT collectibles are sold, as long as the original author sets the royalty rate, allowing the creators to continue to receive income from their work after it has been released to the primary market.

As we watch Bored Ape go from less than 1ETH to 15 ETH floor price, and Pudgy Penguins go from less than 0.1ETH to 3 ETH floor price, have you ever wondered how much money their production teams are making? BlockBeats has compiled a list of five recent NFT collectibles and calculated how much their production teams are earning. (Note: All the statistics in this paper do not cover the NFT reserved by the production team for use in subsequent activities, and all are assumed to be sold in the primary market.)
