JPG Store, Cardano’s largest NFT marketplace, announces shutdown and will cease operations on May 23.

According to the official announcement from JPG Store, the NFT marketplace JPG Store—and its associated platform Comet—which has served the Cardano ecosystem for over four years, will officially shut down on May 23, 2026, due to unsustainable operations. After the shutdown, NFTs held in users’ self-custodial wallets and within JPG Store’s smart contracts will remain fully owned by users and can still be accessed via other aggregation platforms or the Cardano CLI. The smart contracts will remain open-source, and the platform is also providing a GitHub link to enable community developers to continue building related tools.
