By locking NFTs into a <strong>blockchain network<\/strong> or <strong>liquidity pool<\/strong> for a minimum period known as the staking duration, users contribute to the network\u2019s <strong>security and transaction speed<\/strong>. In return, they receive <strong>staking rewards<\/strong> in the form of <strong>crypto tokens<\/strong>. The <strong>rarer<\/strong> the NFT, the <strong>higher the potential rewards<\/strong>. These tokens can later be traded or swapped for preferred assets. However, NFTs cannot be sold or transferred while they are staked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Renting NFTs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-390x220.jpeg 390w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mike-Winkelmann-The-69-Million-NFT-Sale-Story-2-scaled.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NFT rental platforms<\/strong> offer a newer passive income stream for owners. These platforms help determine <strong>rental prices<\/strong> and <strong>duration<\/strong>, and the entire process is governed by <strong>smart contracts<\/strong> that automatically return the NFT to the owner at the end of the rental period. Renting NFTs is particularly useful in <strong>Play-to-Earn (P2E) games<\/strong>, where the NFT increases a player&#8217;s chance of winning. It\u2019s a <strong>mutually beneficial method<\/strong> that provides earnings for the owner and game advantages for the renter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Generating Yield Through NFT Liquidity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Stepn-Partners-with-Adidas-for-Genesis-Sneakers-NFT-Launch-scaled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NFT liquidity pools<\/strong> allow users to utilize the value of their NFTs <strong>without selling<\/strong> them. This method lets investors retain ownership of their collection while using its value on other platforms to generate <strong>passive income<\/strong>. NFTs are deposited into a <strong>vault<\/strong>, and in return, users receive <strong>vTokens<\/strong> (ERC-20 tokens) representing the NFT\u2019s floor price. These vTokens can be invested into <strong>DEX liquidity pools<\/strong> like <strong>Balancer<\/strong> or <strong>Uniswap<\/strong> to earn rewards. Once profits are collected, vTokens can be returned to reclaim an NFT from the same collection, usually for a small fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Earning Royalties<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Official-Step-in-Metaverse-and-NFT-from-Japan-1-96x96.webp 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to generate passive income from NFTs is through <strong>royalty payments<\/strong>. This method enables creators to <strong>earn from digital artwork<\/strong> even after ownership is transferred. After creating a piece, the artwork is <strong>minted<\/strong>\u2014meaning it is turned into an NFT and recorded on the <strong>blockchain<\/strong>. A smart contract is then programmed with <strong>royalty terms<\/strong>, typically ranging from <strong>5% to 10%<\/strong>. Whenever the NFT is resold, a portion of the sale is automatically sent to the original creator. For instance, if an NFT sells for $1,000 with a 5% royalty, the creator earns <strong>$50 each time it&#8217;s sold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passive income is a popular strategy among digital asset holders because it enables earning money with minimal effort by leveraging existing assets.
