According to Odaily, Nike's #RTFKT is in the process of migrating its #NFT series, CloneX and Animus, to ArWeave. This transition is expected to be completed within a few hours. Since December of last year, RTFKT has been discussing changes to its infrastructure, with plans to decentralize in the future. Samuel Cardillo, RTFKT's Chief Technology Officer, noted that the CloneX NFT series recently faced issues on platforms like OpenSea and Blur, where art images were not displaying correctly. Users encountered messages stating, 'This content has been restricted; using Cloudflare's basic services in this manner violates the terms of service.' The problem arose because the project's Cloudflare Pro plan was set to end on April 30, but Cloudflare unexpectedly switched to a free plan days before the contract expired, causing errors in streaming images and videos.

Will NFTs Return?Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have become one of the most talked-about trends in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. However, after explosive growth a few years ago, their popularity has sharply declined, and many are wondering if they can gain traction again. What is happening with NFTs right now? Interest in NFTs has significantly decreased after the boom and record sales in 2021. This is related to several factors. First, many projects were overvalued, and their real value did not meet expectations. After the spike in interest, it became clear that most tokens lacked practical value and utility. This led to a decrease in interest from major investors and market saturation with similar projects. As a result – user outflow and price drops. A vivid example is the Bored Ape Yacht Club (#bayc ), which faced a sharp decline in value and user activity.
