Dear Astar Community,
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to sunset the Bluez.App and de-list it from the Astar dApp Staking system.
While our team has worked tirelessly to create a vibrant NFT community-driven marketplace, the Astar NFT ecosystem has not achieved the traction needed to justify the ongoing server and operational costs. From a business perspective, continuing operations is no longer sustainable.
Key Points:
Insufficient User Activity: The current level of activity and ecosystem growth does not support the sustainability of our operations.
High Server and Maintenance Costs: The operational expenses outweigh the returns.
Reallocation of Resources: We intend to focus on other promising initiatives within the Astar ecosystem that better align with its goals and vision.

Honorable this from you. The Astar team should ask themselves why there is no traction of nft on astar, I don't think there is more interaction on other marketplaces, it is the astar ecosystem that is not up to par on nfts compared to many others. Maybe if instead of supporting projects that do not work, more commitment was asked of the dapps this would change. Pity, an indirect consequence. I wish you good luck.
Sad to see this project leave :(
Because the project is sunsetting, I support the delisting.
Thanks Matt for the transparency and for initiating this proposal yourself.
Understandable, in the end costs are an important part of managing dApp development. I hope to see the team's other ideas soon :)
