The Redlion Gazette – the world’s first weekly newspaper NFT magazine about Ethereum – has ceased operations early this week, signaling the departure of an OG player in the blockchain art and media scene.
“Yesterday was the first Monday since 2020 without publication in the Gazette. As expected, it went unnoticed, confirming that it was the right decision to end it. Still it hurts,” says the brain behind the project, Redlioneye.eth, on X.
Nevertheless, The Gazette unique approach, combining exclusive NFT artwork with urgent industry news in every issue, has created a vibrant platform that has attracted NFT artists, collectors and enthusiasts over the past four years.
