Apple has formalized its controversial stance on NFTs.
The tech giant published updates to its App Store Review Guidelines on Monday with new language surrounding NFTs, according to Apple Insider. In short, NFTs are allowed to exist within apps on the App Store—but they can’t unlock additional features or content.
“Apps may use in-app purchase to sell and sell services related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transferring,” the new guidelines read. “Apps may allow users to view their own NFTs, provided that NFT ownership does not unlock features or functionality within the app.”
Under Apple's longstanding policies regarding paid unlocking of digital goods and services, NFTs that are purchased via Apple's in-app purchases can be used for token-gated utility. But those are subject to Apple's 30% fee.
This may actually deter application developers from supporting in-app purchases of NFTs. Yet, a main use case for NFTs is that they can be used to unlock token-gated content. For example, the Moonbirds NFTs and Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs offer holders exclusive access to various communication channels, merchandise, and other such perks.
In addition, developers aren’t allowed to create “buttons, external links, or other calls to action” that might tell users how to circumvent the App Store to buy NFTs through other platforms. Instead, the App Store wants its users to make in-app purchases.
And paying in crypto is not an option.
Bored Ape Yacht Club co-founders Wylie Aronow ("Gordon Goner") and Greg Solano ("Garga") joined Dan Roberts and Kate Irwin on the gm podcast to talk about BAYC parent company Yuga Labs and its size and influence in the space, Ape haters, NFT haters, the SEC investigating Yuga, Buzzfeed "doxxing" Aronow and Solano earlier this year, their vision for the Otherside metaverse realm, and much more. Watch and make sure to subscribe to the gm podcast on Apple or Spotify.
The App Store Review Guidelines are important because they tell developers what they can and can’t publish to the App Store. Violating such policies could result in app rejection or removal.
This latest update affirming the requirements for in-app purchases makes sense, as the tech press recently reported that Apple was going to take its hefty cut of NFT sales.
A month ago, rumors of the 30% NFT fee disappointed Epic Games CEO and crypto supporter Tim Sweeney, who said Apple “must be stopped” because the move was “crushing another nascent technology that could rival its grotesquely overpriced in-app payment service.”
Beyond just NFTs, Apple has also revised some of its language surrounding cryptocurrency exchange apps listed on its App Store.
"Apps may facilitate transactions or transmissions of cryptocurrency on an approved exchange, provided they are offered only in countries or regions where the app has appropriate licensing and permissions to provide a cryptocurrency exchange,” the guidelines state.
Editor's note: this article has been updated to clarify that NFTs can be used to unlock features and content if they are purchased via Apple's in-app purchase framework.
Long-running Ethereum NFT collection Chimpers is expanding its footprint, teaming with IP incubator 223 to produce physical collectibles, starting with a plush keychain blind box collection featuring the cartoonish Chimpers characters.

NFT trading volumes saw a quarter-on-quarter plunge of 45%, according to a new report—despite sales surging by 78%. DappRadar says there's still a healthy interest in digital collectibles, but there's been a "sharp drop" in the average prices paid. In a sign that multimillion-dollar Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks sales are a distant memory, trading volume stood at $823 million in Q2—down from $4 billion a year ago. A total of 12.5 million sales took place over this three-month period. Tha...
NFTs have provided digital artists with new ways to monetize their work by introducing scarcity to the market, but other creative fields can also benefit, performance art duo Operator told Decrypt. The performing arts have a “similar issue” to digital artists, explained Ania Catherine, who works with collaborator Dejha Ti as Operator. Prior to the advent of NFTs, Catherine said, “Digital artists were in a position of being in a service industry, working for advertising firms, the film industry,...
