The founder of Rentable, the non-fungible token (NFT) protocol that lets users rent out their jpegs, најавила today that the protocol will be shutting down after failing to find “product market fit.”
While withdrawals are still possible, rentals are now disabled, and users have until October 13 to finish withdrawals. After that date, the protocol will launch emergency withdrawals and send the tokens to their respective owners.
The project’s founder Emiliano Bonassi launched Rentable to target a different side of the NFT market, looking for people to rent out NFTs that would otherwise sit in wallets, прикупљање virtual dust.
In June 2022, the protocol offered its services to Децентралан users, Meebits holders, and the Lobster DAO, letting “owners earn a yield w/o risk of liquidation,” према to Bonassi.
Bonassi said that “Rentable’s mission was to be agnostic, enabling rentals without being tied to a specific use-case. Rentable V2 enabled any dApp to offer rentals for their users without integrations (just WalletConnect), we removed any sort of barrier for platforms.”
However, Rentable could not secure funding and “got close to zero traction,” added the founder.
Дешифрирај reached out to Bonassi for further comments but did not receive feedback by press time.
