Cloudflare Restricts RTFKT CloneX NFT Art for Service Violation
RTFKT's CloneX NFTs lost their associated art due to a Cloudflare service issue, resulting in a display of a black background with a restricted content message. Key points include:
- All 19,500 Ethereum NFTs in the CloneX collection were affected.
- The problem arose from hosting limitations on Cloudflare's basic plan, which does not support video streaming.
- RTFKT's Head of Tech stated that the NFTs will transition to decentralized storage on Arweave and that their Cloudflare plan ends soon.
- By Thursday morning, some art reappeared after the issue was resolved.
- RTFKT previously shut down operations in December, leading to over 3,300 sales in one day as confidence waned.
- CloneX floor prices dropped significantly, reaching an all-time low of approximately $230 per NFT, down from over $60,000 in April 2022.
Cloudflare has been contacted for further clarification.
