Our verdict on Lootex
Lootex is not a platform to start using in 2026, because the team has announced that its NFT trading platform will close on 4 April 2026. Its main point of interest is the closure itself and what it means for holders of NFTs and LOOT tokens. The main caveat is that the project does not include fees, audits or a full chain list, so anyone with assets should rely on the official announcement for next steps.

What is Lootex?
Lootex was a marketplace for NFTs used in games, described in search snippets as a cross-chain platform founded in 2018. The team has announced that it will close its NFT trading platform on 4 April 2026, so the project should be treated as inactive for trading. Holders of NFTs or LOOT tokens should follow the official announcement and the DAO's posts on the staking and token lock changes.
How Lootex works
Lootex was built as a marketplace where people could buy and sell digital items used in games, such as NFTs. A marketplace matches a seller's listing with a buyer's offer, and each trade moves the NFT between wallets on the blockchain where it is recorded.
Search snippets describe the platform as spanning several blockchains, so the same kind of trade could take place on different networks. Ownership of an NFT sits in the wallet holding it, which is why moving assets out of a platform before it closes matters.
The LOOT token was tied to the platform and to a DAO that guided decisions. Public sources show a staking program that has since changed, and it is not described in enough detail to explain how rewards were calculated.

Pros and cons
What we like
- The closing date and the reason for it were announced publicly, giving holders time to act.
- The platform covered several blockchains, according to search snippets.
- It was focused on game assets, a narrower niche than general NFT marketplaces.
Watch out for
- The NFT trading platform is closing, so new trades are not an option for users going forward.
- The project does not include a fee schedule, so trading costs cannot be compared.
- The LOOT staking reward was canceled and the staking program was revamped, which changes what holders earn.
- Token locks were extended by 10 months for investors, team and advisors, according to a DAO post.
- No audit reports or security history are listed publicly reviewed.
Lootex fees
Trading fees are not published publicly reviewed. Users would normally see fee details on the trading interface, which is closing, so the current fee terms should be checked in the official announcement.
Is Lootex safe?
The project does not include a smart-contract audit, a custody model or an incident history for Lootex. Its closure notice states that NFT assets are safe, but users should confirm the process for moving assets in the official announcement. Token-holder risk is also relevant, since DAO posts describe a canceled staking reward and a 10-month token lock extension for insiders. NFT and token values can fall sharply, and nothing here is financial advice.
