The defunct NFT lending platform Parallel Finance is charging users a fee of $500 to help them withdraw assets from the platform. After ceasing support for its NFT lending products following a six-month notice period, over $800,000 worth of 'blue-chip' NFTs remain locked in its smart contracts. The front-end support for the platform has been abandoned, and non-technical users are unable to manually withdraw their tokens, while the Parallel team is charging high fees to assist them in withdrawing their assets.
