@niftygateway: Migrating metadata to Arweave, extending shutdown to April 2026

To the Nifty Gateway community, Thank you for your feedback on the recently announced closure of the platform. It is our goal to conduct the process of closing Nifty Gateway in a smooth and orderly way and that all of our customers are able to move their NFTs to their wallet of choice and have access to them in perpetuity. Below is an update on the closure process: ✅ Our plan is to migrate the metadata and media hosting on Nifty Gateway to a permanent, decentralized solution on Arweave. There is a subset of NFTs created in 2021 or before with metadata that is permanently linked to Nifty Gateway’s servers. For these NFTs, we will continue to host this metadata in perpetuity. ✅ We are extending the deadline for moving assets to a 90 day window, with a deadline of April 23, 2026. After this date, if customers have not moved their assets off the platform we will continue to work with customers to make sure that they are able to move their NFTs to their wallet of choice. ✅ We are working on a bulk withdrawal tool for our customers who have multiple NFTs on our platform and will be rolling it out shortly with plenty of time to use the tool before the April 23 deadline. We continue to be grateful to the Nifty community for joining us on this journey. 🩵
