PANews reported on August 30 that Reddit announced that it would terminate the avatar creator program and will no longer accept new works submitted by creators in the future, but all remaining works will be reviewed by the end of September, and the avatar store will continue to operate until November 11. Users will still be able to use their purchased collectible avatars, but Reddit will remove the collection showcase feature from profiles and NFT transfers within the platform. Reddit emphasizes that avatars on their own can still serve as a way to express themselves.

All secondary sales royalties will go to the creator. Reddit will update the contract over the next three weeks, paying all secondary sales fees directly to creators. Reddit will also remove the "Vault" feature within the app. Users can export their blockchain wallets by copying the 12-word seed phrase from the "Vault Settings" until January 1, 2026.
