Company profile
researched Aug 2026Lootex is a Taiwan-based Web3 company that operated a non-custodial, multi-chain NFT marketplace together with Lootex Studio, an NFT creation and minting tool for creators and game developers, and Biru, a set of social and community features built for the Lootex ecosystem. The marketplace supported eight blockchains — Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Mantle, Base and Soneium — and, according to the company, covered more than 29,000 collections and over 140,000 wallet addresses. Because the marketplace was non-custodial, assets remained in users' own wallets rather than being held by the company.
After eight years of operation, Lootex announced it is deprecating its consumer products. Listings and minting are to be disabled on March 27, 2026, trading (buying, selling and bidding) on March 31, 2026 with active listings auto-cancelled, and the platform goes offline on April 4, 2026, leaving a static FAQ page; on-chain smart contracts continue to function independently and users are directed to OpenSea, Magic Eden or other compatible marketplaces for continued trading. In parallel, the company released Lootex Core — its multi-chain NFT indexing, ERC-4337 smart account integration, marketplace smart contracts and auto-scaling Google Cloud infrastructure — publicly on GitHub under an MIT license.
The company now positions itself as an engineering partner for full-stack AI web application development, offering LLM integration, cloud infrastructure, Web3 and smart contract development, product design and technical consulting.
Business model
Historically, Lootex operated a consumer marketplace and creator tooling for NFTs across multiple chains. Following the deprecation of those products, the company markets contract engineering and consulting services, inviting prospective clients to submit project inquiries for AI web app development, LLM/AI integration, Web3 and blockchain development, and technical consulting.
Traction
The company reports eight years of operation and a marketplace that supported more than 29,000 collections and over 140,000 wallet addresses across eight blockchains.
Latest developments
A sunset notice published on March 23, 2026 set out the deprecation timeline for Lootex Marketplace, Studio and Biru: minting and new listings off on March 27, 2026, trading disabled on March 31, 2026, and the platform offline on April 4, 2026. The Lootex Core infrastructure was open-sourced on GitHub under an MIT license, and the team is soliciting client work in full-stack AI web application development.

Lootex's core stack, released as open source under an MIT license, includes multi-chain NFT indexing across eight blockchains, ERC-4337 smart account integration, marketplace smart contracts and auto-scaling infrastructure running on Google Cloud.
