PANews August 30 news, Reddit announced that it will terminate the avatar creator program and will no longer accept new submissions from creators. However, all remaining works will be reviewed by the end of September, and the avatar store will continue to operate until November 11. Users can still use the collectible avatars they have purchased, but Reddit will remove the display feature for collectibles in profile and platform NFT transfers. Reddit emphasizes that avatars themselves can still serve as a means of self-expression. All secondary sale royalties will belong entirely to the creators. Reddit will update the contract in the next three weeks to pay all secondary sale fees directly to the creators. Reddit will also remove the "Vault" feature in the app. Users can copy the 12-word mnemonic from the "Vault Settings" to export their blockchain wallet until January 1, 2026.
