The RoyaltyModule is the main entry point for handling royalty payments on Story. It allows IP owners to set royalty policies for their IP assets and enables derivative IP owners to pay royalties to their parent IPs.

​
Security Considerations

The RoyaltyModule contract implements several security measures:
  1. Access Control: Most administrative functions are restricted to be called only by the protocol admin through the restricted modifier.
  2. Module Interaction Control: Functions like onLicenseMinting and payLicenseMintingFee can only be called by the Licensing Module through the onlyLicensingModule modifier.
  3. Reentrancy Protection: The nonReentrant modifier is used on functions that handle token transfers to prevent reentrancy attacks.
  4. Pausability: The contract can be paused in emergency situations using the whenNotPaused modifier.
  5. Whitelisting Mechanism: The contract implements whitelisting for royalty policies and tokens to ensure that only approved components can interact with the royalty system.
  6. Dispute Resolution Integration: The contract integrates with the Dispute Module to handle any disputes related to royalty payments.
