The rise and the fall of RTFKT
Founded in 2020 and closed in November 2024, RTFKT was an renowned digital active ingredient incubation studio, recognized to take advantage of the engines in the game, a world class design and an AR to create unique digital assets. In 2021, RTFKT became such a great success that Nike acquired it before the end of the year. The NFT studio continued to settle in 2021, selling more than $ 3.1 million from its NFT sneakers.

RTFKT skyrocketed after the launch of the non -Bobilible X clone tokens collection. There were 20,000 NFT Clonex RTFKT hosted on the Ethereum blockchain network. In addition, the NFTs were divided into eight types of DNA, which formed the system of clonex rarity. Each type of DNA has taken a different percentage from the total offer. Humans took 50%, robots (30%), angels (8.75%), demons (8.75%), reptiles (1.25%), living dead (0.6%), murakamis (0.5%) and extraterrestrials (0.15%).
The Clonex NFT collection continued to gain ground among the merchants, its floor price value increasing at recording heights. At the time, Clonex recorded some revolutionary sales of its rarest NFT. At the top of the list was the Clonex # 4594, which sold for 450 ETH in 2022. Clonex # 13134 sold for 368 ETH. The rest of the most expensive 10 NFT NFT has exchanged more than $ 500,000 ETH. In addition to the Clonex NFT collection, RTFKT has since launched many NFT collections.
What's wrong?
In December 2024, Nike announced the closure of his new generation sneakers studio formerly promised after failing the market for non -bubble volatile tokens. Despite more than $ 81 million from NFT sales, obtaining an additional $ 37.8 million in royalties and selling Airdrop sneakers, the RTFKT team has now become silent to NFT holders. Unfortunately, the NFT studio did not even manage to pay the server fees, leaving Clonex NFT holders with a broken link.
I do not think they did anything intentionally (in addition to closing the project) – they just stopped paying service bills or simply canceled subscriptions

Several users and influencers of crypto have described this movement as another form of carpet shooting. In the world of crypto and challenge (decentralized finance), a “carpet traction” is a scam where project developers or creators of a new cryptocurrency, token or NFT suddenly abandon the project and withdraw all the funds invested, leaving investors with digital assets without value. In the meantime, it is not confirmed if “the 404 error” in the Clonex NFT collection is the result of technical problems or not.
Did @Rtfkt Clone x rug their art?

Now art has disappeared. There is probably a solid conversation on chain art to have here. pic.twitter.com/o6c93ypovk
