VK NFT Closes Its Doors: A Journey Through Tokens and NFT Avatars Comes to an End

In early April 2025, VK announced the closure of its VK NFT project, a platform showcasing tokens and visually appealing hexagonal NFT avatars.

“We appreciate your support; this has been a wonderful journey! VK NFT provided us with significant insights and countless warm memories, but now we are moving forward. All content in the VK NFT HUB community will remain accessible. You can withdraw your tokens from the internal wallet and transfer them to an external one until April 15. The neon diamond avatars will be functional until that date as well. This is not goodbye! We have many exciting projects ahead,” VK representatives stated.

According to VK’s press service, the VK NFT initiative was a «pilot experiment in the web3 sector,» and the company has since shifted its focus towards «the development of content platforms and tools for creators.»

VK introduced the VK NFT project in late 2022. By December 2023, the company revealed that the service had grown to five million users, with 500,000 linked crypto wallets and a total of over one million tokens across user balances. Additionally, in 2023, VK launched its NFT collection CryptoSpotty, featuring Spotti, the mascot dog of VK. Users quickly purchased the collection’s 8,000 tokens in under an hour, with the highest-priced token sold for 201,000 rubles. Proceeds from this sale were pledged to be donated to the «Vnimanie» charity fund for the restoration of the architectural monument, the Bak House, in St. Petersburg.

Along with the collectible tokens, buyers received personal online meetings with the artists behind the CryptoSpotty designs. The collection was created on the Polygon blockchain. It was anticipated that CryptoSpotty tokens would be resold on secondary markets within marketplaces that support trading on Polygon. Users had the option to receive NFTs from VK in compatible wallets like MetaMask or TrustWallet.
