Solana-based NFT marketplace, Formfunction recently announced that it will no longer continue to operate and it will officially shut down on Wednesday, March 29. The official Twitter announcement read,
“This was an extremely difficult decision; however, after much discussion and careful consideration, we’ve come to the conclusion that we cannot continue to operate Formfunction.“
Furthermore, the Formfunction team will be “making it easy” to export a hashlist of all NFTs users have created. That will help creators continue to display and sell their collectibles on other platforms. However, all existing pieces have to be “de-listed” before the shutdown date.
It is worth recalling that the platform raised a $4.7 million seed round in March last year. That was led by VC firm Variant Fund and had contributions from others like Solana Ventures, Canonical Crypto, Pear VC, Palm Tree Crew Crypto, and OpenSea Ventures.
